I have complex feelings about this. I really like what Sawayama is doing, but I feel that she doesn't quite succeed: she's using nu-metal as a signifier of crass, flat commercialism, which isn't wrong exactly but it misunderstands the historical context that nu-metal came out of. Nu-metal is like Dada or Situationism or Superflat: it loses a lot of its meaning if it's detached from its moment in history.
