I have listened to Mushroomhead in the past, back when I was still into that kind of music.

kinda glad i didnt buy the cd...now.. i got Phish :)

Then you misjudged.
I even like nu-metal, I love Slipknot, for instance.
But they just don't fit in to Nu-Metal, even my extremely-against-Nu-Metal friend find Mushroomhead original >_>
But whatever. No use with you people. You completely step down on everything that you find mildly annoying, apparently.
For a place that I've seen consider Nu-Metal scratching discs to rap to teen angst, something having an occasional 2/3 and rarely ever in the same song doesn't seem to qualify.

And I always thought KoRn started the Nu-Metal thing?

Jesus, its like you're taking being called nu-metal as an insult to the band. I'd consider them nu-metal.

No you're just retarded. Nu Metal is not just rap metal. It's watered down, safe "metal" for angsty teens and rednecks that could make it on MTV.

So a personal attack is how you justify statements, interestingly pathetic.
All you've shown there is you really have no idea what you're talking about.
Mushroomhead has no genre, they're an infusion of funk, hip-hop, metal, and industrial. Nu-Metal doesn't even suit the music they produce, as they were spewing out long before 'Nu-Metal' was even a term.
It's not 'Rap Metal' as I've already said, it's not 'watered down' either.
And it certainly is not about teen angst, it mostly has religious statements, questioning 'facts' about religion. But obviously I'm not welcome on this board, and won't be back. I'd rather discuss music somewhere it's discussed, rather than argue about it with brainwashed people who think just because a band can get publicity, it's not worth listening to. That's like not drinking water, 'cause everybody does it. Simply ingenius. Now enjoy your childish ideals and insults. Retarded is not a term that should be used as an insult, on someone who escaped it. So I'm gone. You're a jacka ( I assume the maturity level on this board is of the level where words must be censored, for your apparent safety) ss who should probably work on social skills, and get laid.
Now as to having a name 'Beat yr own kid' and then referring to others as rednecks, to this, I have nothing else to add.
Good bye to a forum full of apparently, imbeciles.

lawl someone call the waaaaaahhhhmbulance. You defending a nu metal band as "genreless" is pretty priceless. And for the record, since no one asked, my name is a parody of the band Be yr own Pet. Way to win at life there pal. You trying to act like some sort of psuedo-intellectual is pretty hilarious as well. When you get a better grasp of music, come back one day.

<_< lololololol You got me, I personaly like Nu-Metal, in reality I'm a complete jackass. ^_^
I was having fun with my falsetized stuck up attitude.
Can you tell I was bored?
Mushroomhead IS kinda Nu-Metal. But they're more, and I'll always stick to that.
And I enjoy my music.
I like a large variety of things.
Running Wild, Einherjer, Kotiteollisuus, Oomph, Zeromancer, ranging all the way to 7 Mary 3, with a little MSI thrown in for random.
Yes, well, I figured making a topic for Mushroomhead would be a good way to get in some absolkutely one sided arguments, so i did it. And boy was I right. And I got my ass handed to me, good job with that.
lolol :p

One sided elitest arguments are what internet forums are all about.

I know. XD Fun stuff.
