It should sound like a mess, but some bands did find a way to make it work.

That's all well and good but I'm wondering why you are responding to me. I was hoping that my posts weren't taken as condescending because that certainly wasn't my intent. While I'm mostly indifferent to scene, I don't doubt that it existed legitimately in its time and place nor that there existed some genuinely compelling qualities in the music.
I don't think SYG is the right place for trying to save nu-metal, though.
