Slipknot

Judging by the argument (which seems to be about nothing), it seems everyone thinks alternative music is just another form of nu-metal, but that's not the case... As for the similarities, it's because of the early alternative styles (grunge, hardcore, funk metal); their foundations are present in any self-respecting alternative band... The alternative genre should be energetic... And a band that isn't similar to Slipknot is S.O.A.D, at least because it's not nu-metal, or the band TOOL...
