I sure will... 
  
Listen to The Deftones. They are not Nu-Metal. They may have originally sounded like what Nu-Metal was meant to become, but they are not what Nu-Metal became, they never were and never will be. Aside from the tuning of their trademark distorted guitars and Chino's soft-to-shout lyrics, the Deftones' current sound is wholly different to what they began with. 
  
They grew evolved and got better in my opinion. Is it any wonder that out of all the 'Nu-Metal' bands that The Deftones get compared to, The Deftones are the ones who remain popular and critically acclaimed? Limp Bizkit are all but dead. Korn became repetitive after one album and every other two bit Nu-Metal band aside from the commercial juggernaut that is Linkin Park are dead and buried. 
  
But most of all The Deftones have shown not one sign of falling apart or becoming a parody of themselves.
