Lol ok…? I hate nu metal, but I understand which bands seemed to do the heavy lifting. I only liked Deftones. Korn and Slipknot were cool. Soulfly was great if you clumped them in the mix.

The bands that laid the groundwork for nu metal to exist were sepultura, quicksand, korn and deftones.

While nu metal became a thing corporations could sell then I would include slipknot, soad, deftones, korn, lincoln park, staind as the leaders. Limp bizkit killed it. Everyone else were b tier. Only s tier was deftones because they actually put effort in creating what they wanted and not what was part of the shitrock formula.

Your suggestion that soulfly belongs on the A-tier list instead of disturbed is akin to me saying The Who was B tier and Harry Nilsson was a king because lime and the coconut slaps.

We both hate nu metal. For some reason your personal favorite within something you hate is clouding your judgement.

When talking about what bands defined a music genre's scene, the answer isn't your favorites. That's not what we're talking about. Why would we be talking about that, ever? Let alone in this context?

Application denied. You clearly don't even take your own argument seriously.
