The problem with nu metal isn't that it's a genre of bad ideas, it's that it's built on too few ideas to even sustain a couple of bands long term, let alone an entire genre of bands. The first couple of albums from Korn, Coal Chamber, Incubus, and the first Static-X, Orgy, Mudvayne, and Kittie albums were all great in my book, but after that it got real formulaic and boring really fast.

I was born in 1980, and yes I listened to a lot of industrial in my teens, but other than that I have no Idea what you are talking about, at the time people my age seemed to be into nu metal even more than the people ~5-10 yrs younger than me.
