I don't like to say anything bad about particular genres, as each has their pros and cons. That being said, I'm a fan of Nu-Metal. I have a ton of Nu-Metal albums, ranging from the popular (Korn, Slipknot, Linkin Park, Disturbed, Limp Bizkit) to the not-so-popular (No One, Spike 1000, Shuvel, Endo, Darwin's Waiting Room). The lesser known bands have the exact same sound as the mainstream bands, so that's propbably why Nu-Metal gets hated on. The music doesn't really change from band to band that drastically, with certain exceptions (System of a Down, Deftones). Nu-Metal is a genre that has a ton of bands, but all anyone needs to do is listen to a few choice songs and they've pretty much heard everything the genre is capable of.
