    Just because you’re being a bit obnoxious I am calling you out to defend your stance with receipts.

    B tier? Homie I hate nu metal. Here’s the reality.

    S tier - Korn. Limp Bizkit. Linkin Park. This is on record sales, ticket sales, etc. they dominated. Tell me one nu metal band bigger than those three. Dare ya.

    Now to sink your claim. Here’s 10 A tier nu metal artists. I argue that my S tier and A tier list comprises the actual definition of the genre. To satisfy your claim, you must remove Disturbed from the A tier list, and insert a band that deserves being there more. Only then will you even be agreeing with yourself. Until then, you’re admitting you’re talking out of your ass.

    1. Slipknot.

    2. System of a Down.

    3. Deftones.

    4. Papa Roach.

    5. Disturbed.

    6. Mudvayne.

    7. P.O.D.

    8. Staind.

    9. Taproot.

    10. Drowning pool.

    Your move.

      Lol ok…? I hate nu metal, but I understand which bands seemed to do the heavy lifting. I only liked Deftones. Korn and Slipknot were cool. Soulfly was great if you clumped them in the mix.

      The bands that laid the groundwork for nu metal to exist were sepultura, quicksand, korn and deftones.

      While nu metal became a thing corporations could sell then I would include slipknot, soad, deftones, korn, lincoln park, staind as the leaders. Limp bizkit killed it. Everyone else were b tier. Only s tier was deftones because they actually put effort in creating what they wanted and not what was part of the shitrock formula.

        Your suggestion that soulfly belongs on the A-tier list instead of disturbed is akin to me saying The Who was B tier and Harry Nilsson was a king because lime and the coconut slaps.

        We both hate nu metal. For some reason your personal favorite within something you hate is clouding your judgement.

        When talking about what bands defined a music genre’s scene, the answer isn’t your favorites. That’s not what we’re talking about. Why would we be talking about that, ever? Let alone in this context?

        Application denied. You clearly don’t even take your own argument seriously.
