Top 10 Annoying Things About Making Metal Lists
I totally agree metal elitists are annoying but the word "elitist" is often used in a wrong way - many fans use the word "elitist" when they disagree with an opinion.
About Limp Bizkit: Encyclopaedia Metallum is widely considered as the best, biggest and most correct source of metal information but they don't have articles / info about nu metal bands. Why do you think Search results for "Limp Bizkit" look like this: "No matches found. Please try with different search terms." But Encyclopaedia Metallum has info about metal bands with only 1 album.
'Limp Bizkit never played Metal.'
This is really annoying - Led Zeppelin, their members and their songs in the top 10 on many metal lists... Also Kurt Cobain, Bon Scott, etc. the best metal singers...

It's not that I ignorantly think nu metal is not metal, but because it really isn't. I heard it's actually supposed to be a genre of hard rock or something.
When Nu Metal is not Metal then Power Metal, Heavy Metal or Groove Metal aren't as well.
