Novelty? I am so confused as to what that could be.

There are quite a few possibilities. I'm willing to bet it'll be something like the Power Rangers theme song, or possibly something from Weird Al.

Bah. I'll take Hair over New Wave any day of the week.

Or Rick Astley! =D That would rock so hard. Although I doubt that would necessarily go into novelty.

I don't even know if I spelled his damn name right, actually O_o

Also, New Wave > Hair Metal. Although I'm not the biggest fan of either.

I prefer Hair Metal. Mostly because I don't like New Wave Vocals.

I fail to see how nu-metal is a poor classification.

P.S., Since I'm going through a nu-metal phase right now, I'm probably gonna be a tad Nazi-ish when it comes to the genre.

I'd hate to sund like a Gaiaashole, but Nu-Metal isn't really a genre. Tell me that SOAD, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Papa Roach, Staind, and Linkin Park are the same genre with a straight face.

Papa Roach is not nu-metal anyways, they're more post grunge. Same with Staind. Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, SOAD, and Slipknot are all the same genre, though admittedly SOAD is borderline, and I'm not quite sure why they ended up lumped in with nu-metal in the first place.

Tell me that Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, Genesis, Jethro Tull, and Rush are all the same genre with a straight face. Thing with numetal is they were all signed to major labels and received a ton of music video and radio airplay simultaenously. When you have a lot of bands making the same type of music and all getting popular at the same time they will all try to make their own signature sound. That doesnt stop numetal from being a genre. Nu-, afterall, is synonymous with post- in generality when in conjecture with musical genres. Look all the crazy differences between post-hardcore, post-thrash, nu-prog, and post-punk bands.
