Everything that came through that era was labelled as Nu Metal. Sevendust, Ramstein, Staind, Deftones, System of a Down...

How many of those bands sound alike to you?

Nowadays, they've all been moved into appropriate genres. Prog, hard rock, grunge rock etc. I'd say Sevendust and Staind would stay in Nu Metal but the others would all be elsewhere.
