I fucking HATED nu-metal when it came to prominence. I was all about Black Sabbath, Metallica, a little Pantera and Iron Maiden, and classic rock.
My friend let me borrow his Korn CD. I put on the first track, I think it was called Twist. Played for maybe less than 20 seconds, I decided it was the worst thing I had ever heard, and never listened to them voluntarily again.
Korn were the poster boys of the nu-metal movement, and nu-metal was "supposedly" the metal of the future. That was a future I didn't want to see.
