![]() Still, even when looking at the band’s first few albums, it’s hard to say how much the label really applies. To be fair, on the band’s Wikipedia page, it states that Deftones were only classified as nu-metal during their early years, and not on later albums, where the sound became more experimental. This leads us to the question of the day: Where did anyone ever get the idea that Deftones were a nu-metal band? Still, the genre has a decidedly bad reputation, which is why it would be a shame if a band that had little to do with the genre was placed into it unfairly. Of course, that might not be entirely fair, and some people may get more mileage out of Korn and Limp Bizkit than others. It tends to be seen as an era defined by cartoonish vocals, cringe-worthy rap-rock, and lyrics that aspired to be angsty, but were nothing more than mindless, directionless anger. ![]() Fair or not, the genre that dominated rock radio in the late ’90s and early 2000s isn’t remembered fondly by most. ![]() The phrase “nu-metal” tends to carry some negative connotations.
