"But we've really moved away from anything that sounds like nu-metal. I know that we kind of helped create, I guess, the sound of that genre, but I hate that genre. I'm not going to speak for everyone, but I can personally tell you that I am not a big fan of almost everybody in that category. There are a few bands that I don't really believe belong in there, and we're one of those bands."
"I hate it when people call us nu-metal. Not because it sucks, well that is one reason too, but mostly because it's so in the box. We are not limited. We are not a band that's fixed to a genre, we like pop, rock, hip hop, folk, country and what we do is a blend of all of that."
I dig it. I never even heard the label until this thread. I always thought that style of music was a new evolution, a fusion of hard rock, alternative, rap, rasta, and reggae. Bands experimented with music a lot in that era, blending the genres together, and I really appreciated it. Then it all just went away, and we were left with nothing but pop and mumble rap getting promoted after that period of time. I used to think that the world went so hard for pop at the end of the 90's because everyone was tired of being depressed, and surrounded by grunge, but now I know it's just because the studios figured out a formula that churned out new "artists" without a need for originality or creativity.
