someone born in 1980 by the time he was 12 it was 1992 still a good 3 years away from Nu metal but pretty much got to see Thrash/Death metal heyday Industrail heyday and bands LIKE Faith no more and tool Guns n roses etc etc etc i doubt he was even thinking about NU metal in 1992 KORN and SLipknot were still in there basements LOL
and man in 1992 Grunge was KING around 1995 thats when KOrn came around and pretty much KIlled Grunge well grunge killed its self but u get my point

Korn has a lot of grunge influences in their music man. Especially the first album, that one just sounds like grunge with an odd guitar sound and angst-ridden vocals from Jonathan Davis. Ive heard that album a couple times so I know what Im talking about. Though I guess Im not so good when it comes to describing music.
to be honest though I think there wasnt really any pure nu metal album before Korn's first album back in 1994. So Im guessing they basically founded the genre, or at least, made it become quite popular. Limp bizkit did a good job about that too.
