I'm going to quote myself from this thread: http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=65

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?

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.

There's a very good article on alternative metal in Wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_metal It very well puts to words the idea I've had of the genre all along, so I think we could replace Nu-Metal with Alternative Metal and include the Nu field in it along with all these other bands.
