I thought we all agreed Linkin Park was NuMetal?

Yes, we did. But "was" is the keyword here. Classic rock has for many decades now often included things such as rock, folk and metal within it. Adding Nu-Metal more recently isn't a huge stretch.

Nothing like a good ole music genre debate. People acting like classic rock was "classic" the day it was recorded and ignoring all the other sub categories those 60s/70s/80s songs would have fallen into. Rock is a broad fucking category including every genre of rock under it including "nu-metal" and 20 year old music is now old, aka classic.

I remember hearing smells like teen spirit on my local classic rock station for the first time in the mid '00s and thinking this will rustle a few feathers. Its securely classic rock now lol. Even if it's grunge.
