And then how would you say "nu metal evolution of crossover"? They are two distinct and separate genres.

Yes, at least there is one point to dispute: the Urban Dance Squad seems to have been famous only in Europe.

Well, what?

But sorry Cool, Korn are indeed called "nu metal," but for the rhythms of the songs rather than for the rapping (which is almost absent in their music).

But that "minchia" was referring to the fact that I also liked Eminem or that I liked all the names mentioned (well, the Linkin much less)?

Maybe I could give it a try, along with Cool: "a hybrid of various styles of heavy metal with similarly attitudinal genres such as post-grunge, hardcore punk, old school hip hop, funk rock, and sometimes with electronic, reggae, and ethnic folk... Generally, a nu metal song, or rather one of those that easily catch the ear, has the following structure: electronic intro, guitar riffs that prevail or overshadow solos, usually syncopated rhythm but also in multiple registers, scratching (sometimes), and a string of various vocal styles, from rapping to melodic splits (with some exceptions: System Of A Down, who have a more traditional metal approach and Eastern dances than other styles; P.O.D., who have a lot of rap, alternative hard rock, and reggae but no electronic; and Staind, with lyrics very close to grunge but with very hard guitars and no solos...).”

I wanted to form a band with these "fabulous 9 names" that would play punk/funk/rap/metal. I hope you don't want to slaughter me for what I've said!

Dear Kiddie-G, thank you for pointing out the gap. I reread the part in question, and it's true that Aguilera has the right energy in both tracks, but if she had included those two parts I mentioned earlier, they would have made the songs even more appealing. Just imagine if Christina and Lil Kim decided to cover the crossover songs together; they would soar in charm and listening appeal.

Argh...Cool I forgot about Eminem among the musicians I mentioned earlier...

And P.O.D., Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Lenny Kravitz. Just to raise the stakes, unfortunately. Please, Cool, know that I also know quite a bit about other genres.
