The heaviest stuff my parents ever listened to was Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith, so I owe it to nu-metal for setting my path towards metal. Before I got into nu-metal, all I liked was classical music because (1) my parents raised me on nothing but that and (2) the fact that my rival sibling, my older sister, listened to all the mainstream garbage like Blink-182 and Jay-Z naturally made me despise all forms of popular music.
Luckily my stint with nu-metal was my only involvement with the mainstream, and since I drifted to heavier, less accessible and more extreme music, metal, where I once again assumed the position I was raised upon, that being good taste.
