Nu metal (rap-rock), was really an early Millennial fad, and should not be attributed to Gen X. It's popularity peaked around 2001, and was big from around 1999-2003.
Considering Gen X is usually classified as people born on Jan.1, 1965 until either Dec.31 1979 or Dec.31, 1981 (depending who you ask), and the core audience for Nu Metal were teenagers, mainly born from 1980-89.
There is no way Nu Metal was going to appeal to people in their late 20s and beyond.
