Man it sucks living with 4 siblings who don’t like the music you listen to. I listen to Disturbed, Linkin Park, Korn, Drowning Pool, Pantera, Static-X, etc. But they listen to rap and hip-hop so whenever we hang out that’s all they listen to because the majority gets to pick the whats playing like 95% of the time. I need to find some friends I can relate to on the music side of things. It sucks when they’re having these rap conversations and I’m just sitting there sippin on my brew silently while they conversate about a bunch of rap stuff they like. Everyone tells me that I just haven’t heard the right artists yet or the right songs but I swear I’ve heard thousands of rap songs and I still can’t enjoy more than like 9 songs. I’ve tried mainstream and underground and still nothing pleases my ears in this genre all that much. I don’t hate rap but I hate how lonely it feels to be the only one who listens to the stuff I listen to. It’d be nice to have a homie that I could listen to some nu-metal while drinking beers or something.

Your best bet for finding people with similar tastes is going to a concert in your region and wearing a t-shirt of one of your favorite bands. Occasionally I’ll have people come up to me and start chatting about the headlining act or whatever band I’m wearing a t-shirt of that night.
You might also be able to connect with people online. Maybe subscribe to /r/numetal or post on the forums of your favorite bands. A lot of “hardcore fans” can be elitist pricks, I’ve found, but you’re also bound to run into some cool people here and there.
I haven’t been into nu-metal for 15 years, but there are a few bands from that genre that I still listen to on occasion: Deftones, Sevendust, Nonpoint, Mushroomhead, and Disturbed — plus a few other bands that Wikipedia considers nu-metal but I don’t (A Perfect Circle, Shinedown, Chevelle, Rev Theory, and Machine Head).
