I'm all for grooves but every nu metal song I've heard either doesn't have any real groove or a terrible one. And then they have all that heavy bullshit going on in the background and it just doesn't work at all.

as for how it's "skilless", i say it's not so much what you have, but how you use it. there's plenty of musicians who have skill up to their eyeballs, but squander it in meaningless shred-fests and overblown displays of technicality. not saying that there aren't people with alot of skill who can really make music, just that i'm not too picky on skill levels as long as the musicians can take what they have and make it entertaining.

Yeah, but 95% of talentless musicians make terrible music with the other 5% maybe doing something interesting.

but yeah, not sayng you have to like nu-metal or anything. there's music that doesn't appeal to me, but i still can get why others like it*cough* classical *cough*

Def. I rarely try to sway one's musical tastes covering entire genres.

Cause originality = awesome, right? So, like, Merzbow is the greatest isn't he?
