I don't think that there is much controversy surrounding the genre. It's more of an ambitiousness that I see. Korn, I don't see any metal in that band at all. Though I do admit that I haven't heard all of their songs. Slipknot seem rather straight forward in their metal from the two albums I listened to. But I suppose that if having some rap in the end product makes it Nu-Metal, than I suppose.

And like others, I don't like the "Nu" word. It's just trying too hard to be neat/cool/hip. Maybe it should be called Neo-Metal...? I can hear the Matrix hate coming.

I enjoyed some Korn, like Freak on a Leash. But as I was looking through the metal section at a store when I hit Korn I was shaking my head...

I guess I'm just not all that familiar with the sounds that it's kind of over my head.
