[QUOTE="ShadowSD:427948"]Seriously... I still don't see how Lacuna Coil "evolved" from nu-metal because they are gothic metal, that's ridiculous. What about Type O Negative? Did they evolve from nu-metal, too? Oh wait... they came out years before it existed. I think this is what's really going: the split that has existed between between metal and nu-metal, being a split between underground and mainstream, has over the years resulted in anything metal getting mainstream attention being labeled as nu-metal automatically. Lacuna Coil is on Ozzfest mainstage this year? Well, then they're nu-metal. It's an awful trend to misuse the term, really, because it infers and reinforces that actual metal can never get widespread attention and airplay (a myth that nu-metal bands have have profited from at the expense of talented musicians for years). I don't think nu-metal is dead, and that's unfortunate, but if I occasionally see geniune metal bands getting attention (finally), I'm not going to call them nu-metal, because it would elevate the status of the nu-metal category to include credible bands in it. Ultimately, there is a quality to nu-metal that binds it together and makes it something very different than all other types of metal; if you can recognize it, you can recognize it immediately and without difficulty. If you can't recognize the difference, then there's nothing I can do to help you. [/QUOTE]
