In 1992, MTV banned technical metal bands that actually used shredding and technical guitar solos because of how complex the playing was and only accepted cookie-cutter bands like Godsmack etc.. It simply supports the capitalist system as well with music. You noticed how ONLY NU-Metal bands sell more than Black/Death/Speed metal bands? Compare the techniques and style, Nu-Metal is for easy listeners.
Ive never heard someone classify Godsmack as "nu-metal".
