Orgy were basically 90s metal Depeche Mode and were great.

The closest I get to nu metal is 90s industrial alternative rock and industrial techno. Stabbing Westward, Gravity Kills, a bit of God Lives Underwater... so many bands which were tragically tagged as "the poor-man's NIN." Also just about anything on Wax Trax! Records / TVT. That includes NIN, Aphex Twin, KMFDM, 1000 Homo DJs, My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, Sister Machine Gun, Ministry, Revolting C*cks, VNV Nation, Coil, Front Line Assembly, Meat Beat Manifesto, Psychic TV, The KLF, and my beloved Underworld.

Wax Trax! Records was a fundamental part of my high school experience.

Do you have some sort of app or something that tells you when a band you don't like (i.e., anything not punk) gets discussed and then you have to come in with yet another pithy, pointless post? Seriously, why can't you just let people like or hate the music they like or hate without having to always be snide, smug and superior about it? It's very annoying. As are you.

Same! And also a part of the reason I moved to Chicago.

The Prince of Cringe is just mad because his entire aesthetic is Trent Reznor cosplay without the sex appeal.

Do you like the Beastie Boys?

Nah, you're not pal. I may not have the widest musical knowledge but I don't put down any genre and say it's **** just because I don't like it. Not even jazz.

He likes Sabbath and Korn so he has exceptions for metal.

One or two: I like Frank Carter's Modern Ruin and Rise Against's Wolves, but I haven't listened to much punk. There is something else that's in the back of my mind that I listened to, was punk, and liked when I did not expect to, but I - oh yeah. Germs. Batty hated that I didn't hate that. :laughing:
He once said "all metal is ****" or words to that effect, so no.
