Where the fuck is Faith No More? They're pretty much the definition of Alternative Metal, Primus should be higher too. Korn is the definition of Nu-Metal.

that's the sound of the bands that tried to fuse heavy metal with other genres. Alice in Chains did it very well, they fused grunge with heavy metal.

Who cares what genre they are, if you like there music then fuck it. I'm not a fan, but I don't think Slipknot are Nu Metal, there style is quite diverse, definitely with there earlier stuff. Hence they are not definable and are alternative
