Most of my friends were into nu-ish metal or pantera. I never got huge on either because I was more into thrash and death metal, but I grew to respect (in some regard) slipknot's first album, albeit I hate the vocals. Musically, I thought they infused death metal with industrial more than nu metal. If anything, though, the lyrics and vocals were nu metal. My buddy cliff liked the worst nu metal ever: ill nino, 40 below summer(?), and shit like that. Needless to say I don't hang with him anymore.
Another borderline nu metal band I had somewhat tolerated was nothingface. I didn't like them too much, but didnt mind when friends threw them on. It was difficult being the only kid in my highschool that liked extreme metal; couldnt relate to many people musically and earned the nickname "satan."
Anyone in our age group (late 20s, early 30s now) was exposed to the worst of the nu metal fad in its prime.

I must admit a guilty pleasure of mine that most people lump into the nu metal category, although i'd disagree. System of a Downs first album was a great listen..that album is unique and I wouldnt toss it in with shitty bands like Disturbed or Linkin Park. I liked how there was no other band that sounded like them.
All that being said, FUCK nu metal. I am so glad the fad is over.
Or is it?
