Could someone remove the Extreme metal template? 73.54.195.214 (talk) 16:04, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Thanks for the note. Binksternet (talk) 17:31, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Consistency Issue: Nu-Metal or Nu Metal?

Is there any consensus on whether there's a hyphen in the word or not? Even within the article itself, it is added or removed with no apparent consistency throughout. I understand it's a made-up word consisting of an intentional misspelling of the word "New" already, but it seems like picking one spelling and sticking to it would be better (after the introductory sentence denoting the other generally accepted spelling variations).

I generally don't see it being used with a hyphen. It can change with context though, especially in the early days, when the genre was new, and it would be called variants like "new metal". Sergecross73 msg me 01:10, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

sludge influence

a lot of integral nu metal bands cite acid bath as an influence like slipknot and korn 2603:6080:A500:1397:1976:6EB7:2C90:7C2 (talk) 07:16, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:V, we need a reliable source that states this in order to add it to the article. Sergecross73 msg me 13:38, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sylistic origins seem excessive

Hip hop and Rap metal? Alternative metal and alternative rock? Also thrash metal and hardcore punk might had no influence on nu metal at all. It is obviously heavily relient on Alternative metal/alternative metal derivates. The more agressive aproach is likely explained by industrial metal, groove metal and (to a lesser extend) grunge influence. Thrash metal and hardcore punk sound nothing like a preceder of nu metal. An more apropriete list would be: Alternative metal, groove metal, rap metal, funk metal, industrial metal, grunge. Anything else seems not properly backed up, as rarely anyone plays only nu metal but instead artist that do play it tend to experiment a lot with other genres (example linking park and slipknot are both considered nu metal bands, they are very different in style however). Share you opinions? 212.114.206.193 (talk) 23:53, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If there's a reliable sources that verifies it, it should stay. If there isn't, it should go. Sergecross73 msg me 00:14, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The only reliable source I could find was when I clicked on the citation. It only stated that bands like system of a down etc. etc grew up liking bands like metallica, slayer and hardcore punk bands. A speculation about the music taste of said artists is not considered a reliable source of stylistic origin. Do I have permision to edit it? 212.114.206.193 (talk) 00:46, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
