Why does NuMetal get such a bad rep?

You gotta remember, friends, that most metalheads are a very angry, opinionated bunch. They used to get mad at me for liking DragonForce ffs. But there's nothing they hate more than rap, so when rap and metal mixed, they shunned it like the plague.

I personally like some nu metal, no problem. I also despise some of it. As stated earlier in the thread, metal is a hugely diverse genre and for me personally, I draw the line at too much screaming and too much rapping. If there's just a moderate amount of those things, I have no problem with it, but I prefer my vocalists to actually sing, and for me the vocalist makes the band. If I don't like your vocalist, your band can kiss my ass, I'm not listening to it even if you have the best guitars in the world.
