Most of my preconceived notions come from latter day, early '00s bands that were probably derivative, or possibly mislabeled: Linkin Park, late-era SOAD, Disturbed, Slipknot, Saliva. Aside from Korn and a couple Deftones songs, I don't think I ever really listened to much nu metal from when it was actually new.
