Thrash or Heavy.

YouTube

Why would you post a song that is neither Thrash nor Heavy Metal?

Slipknot IS heavy/thrash.
I hope this is a joke

Yeah, it's not a joke. They're actually multiple genres. Let me guess, you only listened to like, one of their songs.

YouTube

YouTube

Every single song was Nu Metal, except the second, which was some gay ass cheesy emo twink ballad shit.

IT's Nu Metal. Not at all Thrash, and CERTAINLY not Heavy Metal

"Slipknot is an American heavy metal band from Des Moines, Iowa"

Slipknot is not Nu Metal entirely. Some of their earlier songs are (because they rose to popularity when Nu Metal was big), but most of it is a mixed bag of various different genres.

Also, "Snuff" is a power ballad.

And how the hell is "Pulse of the Maggots" Nu Metal?

Here's one that certainly isn't Nu Metal;
YouTube

Heavy Metal the genre, not the generic Wiki moniker used to umbrella all metal. When I say Heavy Metal I am implying Judas Priest and similar bands

That certainly is a Nu Metal track btw. Everything you have shown me has been Nu Metal

Doesn't sound like any Nu Metal I've listened to.

This is a Nu Metal song - the hip hop and funk influence is evident;

YouTube

(also Limp Bizkit fucking sucks, just gonna put that out there)

You could say that Slipknot were originally a Nu Metal band (even though, again, their S/T was a mixed bag of genres), but in interviews over the years and with the bands sound change, the band has been caught labeling themselves as "Metal Metal."

I'm just gonna quit while I'm ahead because nothing I say will influence your elitist /mu/tant opinion.

Limp Bizkit relies a lot more on the Hip Hop influence, yes, but it's still prevalent in Slipknot's music. Bottom line is Slipknot is not Thrash is all I'm saying. That's confusing to people in this thread if they think Slipknot is in the same genre as
YouTube


Slipknot does take influence from thrash, though, even if you don't wanna say any of their songs are explictly in the thrash genre.

What I just don't understand is how people call Slipknot Nu-Metal. No other Nu-Metal band that I know sounds like Slipknot. Korn, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Deftones.... none of them sound much like Slipknot, yet they all have similar characteristics. Well, except for maybe Korn. Some of their older songs shared similarities with Korn.

They take influence from Sabbath too, that doesn't mean they sound anything like Black Sabbath.

The Nu Metal is prevalent. You hear it in the vocals primarily, but also in their choice of grooves. Again, they trend towards the Metal side more than a band like Limp Bizkit, but they still fit within the walls of the genre.

Well, whatever you think, man. Arguing over music genres is dumb and pointless, especially when you consider how many sub-genres there are. I could call Slipknot "post-west coast blackened melodic jazzcore funk pop" if I wanted to. Music is music.

I used to be gung-ho thrash and grindcore but then I went down the experimental rabbit hole. Now idk really. Been on nintendocore lately.
You ever heard Gridlink?
Giving Trace a listen now. I like it but it's basically just Genghis Tron without the intermittent heavy passages to help keep things exciting.
