While very maligned, and in some cases justifiably so, nu-metal was always a catchall buzzphrase descriptor for lazy music journos. When people use that old term today, it reminds me why people hated places like pitchfork.

Limp Bizkit was never nu metal. Anyone who thinks Alice in chains was is retarded. Nu metal, if you want to really pigeonhole it, was bands like Disturbed, Coal Chamber, Powerman 5000, Cold, Monster magnet, and numerous other bands from the era. I never hated it like some did, a lot of that music is just fun dumb shit to headbang to while drunk or if you want be angsty.

Slipknot et al is kind of it's own thing.

i group in any rock music i like as nu metal
 
it was good when i was 14 its still good when im 18 tell me metal snob whats superior music
Post-punk, darkwave, goth rock, 80s hardcore, straight edge, shoegaze, midwest emo, skramz, doom metal, stoner metal, thrash metal, disco, future funk, house, drum and bass, UKG, 2step
basically anything besides

Schlocky rap-metal/hard rock, to me. I dislike most of their catalog, but there's a few songs I'll go back and listen to every now and then when I'm really drunk.
Wes Borland is talented
 
Time to consider what kind of songs normal Metal was producing during the rise of nu-metal.

MTV featuring nu-metal over normal metal is why nu-metal became a thing at all.
The people who get nostalgic over the music prescribed to them by MTV 20 years ago are the same people who use the cringey term "goyslop" without irony.

Ah yes, Motorhead, Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath, the "normal metal" bands that weren't mainstream garbage "goyslop" omnipresent in pop culture.

Do you have any other valid critique of the entire nu metal genre besides "it was mainstream so it was bad" that also cannot be applied to metal genres that came before it?

You have infantile taste in music and infantile taste in words.

Yeah as I expected, just call me an idiot without any substance. Half of this page is you bitching about how bad nu-metal was, and you're nothing special by doing so, everyone in the 2000's said the same thing a million times already.

I would suggest you to go to this thread to actually talk about music you like, but given that you only ever posted there once compared to this thread, I don't think you actually enjoy metal at all.
everybody who likes nu-metal negate this post so I can know who the biggest retards on this site are
Sure. But remember, people who dislike a given music genre don't go into threads dedicated to it and shit it up saying how much they hate it. They don't even think about it, but you seem to be obsessed with nu metal given your posting record.
