Look, you gotta make the call okay. Metal Hammer asked you, to your face, if you consider Deftones a 'baddiecore' band. Now, I know you and nu metal have your differences but I think you need to take a hard look in the mirror and ask yourself, "Are we baddiecore or are we nu metal?"
Do you really want to be baddiecore? Shoegaze? Alternative metal? Chino, come home. Come home to us. Remember who you are; you toured Ozzfest, you spit hot fire on a Korn song once, you have a goddamn DJ.
If you're 'baddiecore' then your peers are the likes of Bad Omens and Sleep Token. Is that the bed you want to moan in? I don't think so. When Metal Hammer asked you if you've even heard of baddiecore you said "I have not, but there’s another genre we have to escape at some point, right?" It's true Chino you do have to escape and we will protect you. Unlike the nu metal allegations you can beat these. You can fight. Fight Chino, fight.
Chino look at this photo:
This is where you belong. You belong with us, The Nu Metal Agenda. You've scorned us time and time again but we're ready to let bygones be bygones.
Come home Chino.
Come home.
