Korn and Slipknot are mainstream, that's the difference. That does not, however, make Nightwish or LC Indie or "small." They've been out for many many years, which throws out the "Indie" option. The "small" option, sure, talk to some Britney Spear fans and they'll say, "who?" but talk to some REAL Metal fans, and they'll know exactly who the bands are.
LC and Nightwish fans are not Gothic. And in the USA they are very much and indie and small time bands. Like some others have said. But LC is going on some big tours so little by little they may become really big in the states. But Nightwish is really small in the USA and it may be a long time before they become big. Though they may not want to be that big in the US.
