Too whiny.

The only thing Nu Metal-ish that I like is Disturbed. Even then, I can't stand any of their songs about love just because of how damn whiny they sound.

Of course, the other metal bands I listen to have sad songs but they're missing the "whiny" quality. They're good at making it seem that they have a legitimate reason to be sad. That's something that Nu Metal doesn't do very well for whatever reason.

So going by your logic, if anything is popular, it's automatically bad? Tool, Alice in Chains, Queen and Black Sabbath are all popular bands, does that make them bad? The answer you're looking for is no.

You entirely missed his point. He's saying the clones are bad. And the usually are

Its not anything wrong they do. Its not what they're saying or the type of people that listen to it or the things the wear. It is pretty much just the music. The music is not good.

If it makes you happy, then nothing at all.

I just find it kind of annoying when someone asks me what music I like and I tell them metal and all they think of is Slipknot and the like.

Why would you bring your senseless hate of Korn into this? Did I mention Korn? I never mentioned Korn.

Sarcasm?

Sarcasm, what's that?

Change by Deftones is pretty good, I must say.

1. You say "the futball".
2. You post pictures of other people to make yourself feel better.
3. You like Nu Metal.
