I heard Slipknot was playing some shows soon. It made me realize how I slipped up not tying the knot with you. You don’t have to respond. Take care.

Some people feel that Slipknot derives most of its influence from alternative rock and hard rock, and only a minority amount from metal. The most obvious influence of their’s is Nu Metal (Again that’s just the influence, I know that they were only Nu Metal for a short period of time), which is an amalgamation of alt rock, hard rock, hip hop, electronic, funk, metal and pop. Some people feel that for bands like Korn and Limp Bizkit, metal only comprises a small portion of their sound with alternative being the largest influence of many. Some people also feel that when Slipknot eschewed the electronic, funk and hip hop influences, they replaced them predominantly with alternative and hard rock, still making metal only a small minority of the sound. They feel that the connection from Slipknot to other established metal genres is tenuous at best.
Now the main reason I see people say Slipknot is metal is because of the distorted guitars, fast tempo, angry lyrics, minor key signatures and harsh/powerful vocals, which all seem like pretty metal things. But the fact is that many non-metal genres predating Slipknot have all of these attributes. Check out Powerviolence, No Wave, Noise Rock and Hardcore for examples. These characteristics are not unique to metal and do not make music metal, which is why some people use lineage as an argument rather than sound. I have never heard a cohesive definition of metal based on sound that excludes these genres but includes all genres of metal, but perhaps someone here has one.

Metal died in 1993. Only 12 good albums have been released since then (most of them in 1994, being already recorded by 1993). Metal achieved its creative peak in albums like Onward to Golgotha, Pure Holocaust, and The Red in the Sky is Ours, elevating the genre into a legitimate art form. Now, thanks to Slaughter of the Soul and Gojira, all its potential was squandered and the genre has been reduced into being mere gimmick ridden noise for drunk idiots (i.e. the lowest common denominator - stop trying to turn underground metal into AC/DC).
