'Nu metal'

When the reviewer talks about nu metal, he's talking about the grungy stuff, not hip-hop-rock. "Bones" is probably closer fitted to standard Alt. Metal and post-grunge, but we'll have to live with it. Don't remove it until you find something saying alternative metal. DannyMusicEditor (talk) 00:07, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't tried to remove it myself, but I do think you're going to have to be vigilant in order to keep it in the article. We go by what sources say, so it's not wrong per se, but I think nu-metal is a rather unpopular/inaccurate desciption for this song. People think Korn and Limp Bizkit with that genre, where this song is pretty far removed from that. Sergecross73 msg me 00:39, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's my point of why I put this here. I was hoping to make the source more clear.DannyMusicEditor (talk) 02:44, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think your speculation on what the author meant is really helping though. I'll try to find more sources on this. When I checked last time, it was hard to find them that were specifically referring to the song, not the album. I'll try some more though. Sergecross73 msg me 15:11, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
