Genres
I'm by no means an authority on this person's career or musical style, but this came up during an argument over at Talk:List of nu metal bands, where it was pointed out that a genre book discussing the term states that Kid Rock does not perform nu metal. One source saying that he did perform in this genre doesn't necessarily make it so, and a source discrediting it pretty much says it all. I've never heard Kid Rock described as "metal" in any fashion, "nu" or not, until Allmusic, which refers to rap-metal, not nu metal. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 20:44, 2 January 2010 (UTC))
- It's sourced. And many other sources refer to him as nu metal. Page 325 in Sound of the beast: the complete headbanging history of heavy metal By Ian Christe and in Nu-metal: the next generation of rock & punk By Joel McIver. We also have a quote from Rolling Stone saying, "Kid Rock — revisit the bygone days of nu-metal" And allmusic has no entry for nu metal, so that's why it is not on his page. I'm not trying to be rude here and I apologize if I am, but your consistent removal of source information I find unbecoming. RG (talk) 23:07, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
- "Consistent removal of source information"? Give me a break. There's a difference between what one source says and what the majority of sources say. If the rule was to include every genre associated with any given band at any period from any person for any reason, Queen would have heavy metal included alongside rock in the Infobox. Queen is generally not considered to be a heavy metal band, so it's not there. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 21:01, 3 January 2010 (UTC))

Kid rock is generally considered nu metal, get over it. These sources back this up. RG (talk) 21:15, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
