Well, them, and shit second albums.
Most 'genres'/'subgenres' have a popular lifespan of about 2, maybe 3 years. Nu-metal's place in the sun would have been 2000 to around 2002. Christ, there was a week with Wheatus, Papa Roach and Limp Bizkit in the top 5!

were wheatus nü metal?
to be fair i only know of the aha cover and teenage dirtbag. the rest of their albums were probably a lot 'harder'.
and the strokes didn't kill nü metal, it killed itself. chester bennington's style of performance used to make him physically sick.
think on that.

1) no, not really. But they were about at that time, and I remember that week in the charts.
2) superfluous diacritical marks are old metal, no?
I still think that if you're going to talk about a changing fashion that did for that sub-genre, it was the whole Strokes thing.
Or the New Rock Revolution as the NME put it.
Hmmmmm.
