Wrong. System doesn't bear any resemblance shitty nu-metal bands. Shitheads that call them such do so just so they can pigeonhole SOAD as something. Their music has breached many, many genres but has never come close to nu-metal. The misnomer stems from System's early tours with bands like Slipknot, but they couldn't be further than that aberration of metal.

If you want to categorize System of a Down as anything, the following genres are acceptable: alternative metal & progressive metal. Calling them nu-metal is just as way to try and justify one's biased hatred of them.
