[QUOTE=Pekka] I'm going to quote myself from this thread: [URL=http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=65]http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=65[/URL][DIV]
[/DIV][DIV]<span ="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Microsoft Sans Serif'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; "><div style=": rgb255, 255, 255; margin-left: 1px; margin-top: 1px; margin-right: 1px; margin-bottom: 1px; font-family: Arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb0, 0, 0; font-weight: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; ">[QUOTE=Pekka]Agree. Even though as I understand them I don't see much connection between alternative and nu, I feel that sometimes they're lumped together, or that nu-metal is seen somehow as a part of the whole alternative metal thing, whatever that means in the end.[DIV]
[/DIV][DIV]Nu metal really is a swear word to many people, I think it could be included within Alternative metal pretty painlessly. How do other metal sites use those genres?[/DIV][DIV]
[/DIV][DIV]The problem for me, as I said in the AiC thread, is that even though I use the term "alternative metal" and have a sort of an abstract picture of it in my head, I have no idea how to define its limits.[/DIV][/QUOTE][/DIV]<div style=": rgb255, 255, 255; margin-left: 1px; margin-top: 1px; margin-right: 1px; margin-bottom: 1px; font-family: Arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb0, 0, 0; font-weight: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.4; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; ">
