the main problem with nu-metal and metalcore is that those particular styles give metal a bad name,
for instance, if you ask someone who is not into the heavier aspects of music if they listen to metal, they usually say no because their idea of metal is what they see marketed everywhere.
in magazines, malls (hot topic), "goths" that have no idea what they are doing but wear black lipstick because they're just so dark inside
people see these tshirts of slipknot, kittie, drowning pool, hatebreed, skinny puppy and whatever other bullshit music there is out there and assume that "oh, this is what metal must be like"
the reason that some of these bands are so "successful" is because they sign to major labels that are able to exploit music in general and mass produce the hell out of it
people always associate "mainstream" bands as "bad", this isn't always the case, for some bands who are genuinely successful probably got there from working hard and having real talent

look at megadeth and metallica, years ago they were rad as hell but over time they just stopped trying because they built up such a huge following that it didnt matter if the music they were making came fom the heart, they knew they could sell it and that was all that mattered

a shitty band sees what people are listening to and what is selling, so they make the same exact sounding music and sell that as their own so they can hope to get money for it

the point is, real talent and music are what any genre of music needs.
if a band really did care about pushing their genre forward instead of dragging them down they would see through all the glamour of it and realize if they can't make music that is a heartfelt effort, they're just gonna bring it right back down
