It's been two decades since nu-metal, the curious spawn of rap and rock that dominated the airwaves for approximately eight years after 1996, sank to the ground and expired, defeated by the new wave of garage and alternative bands that emerged after the millennium.
For those of us old enough to recall the heady days when every rock band had a DJ and generously-proportioned trousers, the music made by all nu-metal bands outside the biggest few has become rapidly dated.
