If anything Nu metal helped Rock music during 1998-2001 cause if there was no nu metal the mainstream scene would have been swapped with Rap and POP bands with no one carrying the flag for Heavy music
they should of called it NU-Rock cause the bands had more 2 do with Rock then metal its not like a lot of them had double bass and guitar solos in there music or fast thrashy riffs
either way Alternative rock in the earrrllyyy 90's grunge in the MIds nu metal in the late 90's to NU hardcore in early 00's to Nu alternative emo rock in the mid 00's its all rock to me the music is all Guitar driven and ... I guess band driven with advances in studio tricks and magic what I mean is they all used the same equipment Guitar bass and drums and vocals
