I'm not really that big of a fan of nu metal either, I mean like I said I listen to all kinds of metal, nu included, but it's definitely not one of my favorites. I do like how a lot of nu/core bands have brought metal into the mainstream even though they might not be the ones who deserve the limelight. I mean not that metal needs to be in the mainstream, it does well enough without it, but it is nice to have "normal" people exposed to metal. Even if it isn't the type that most of us prefer.
