bands that need at least 25 people to do half as much as great thrash metal bands such as slayer, metallica, megadeth, etc.
nu metal is pathetic, mainly because the highlight of a metal song is the solo and, alas, no solo, because they are commercially owned talentless fuckwads.

extreme metal is a side genre of/to metal. this splits into many many subgenres all belonging to extreme metal.
death metal, black metal/nordic metal, doom metal, power metal, some thrash(not counting for latter 80's thrash like metallica and iron maiden crappy thrash yet they are mentioned sometimes around extreme metal???) viking metal and sludge metal.
now all these subgenres push many a boundary in either skill or blind noise and crazyness, this is especially shown in the subgenre noisecore which is a personal favarite of mine, also grindcore, goregrind, deathgrind, shitgrind, mathcore, whirlwindgrind just to name a few that certainly push noise boundaries, and technical boundaries.
bands like blink 182 and so forth are only big in the industry because it is very easy to listen to, theres not to difficult guitar playing and very happy bubblegum eating singing, and same goes to nu-metal, a max of 4 chords are played and a load of crappy shouting goes on(yet never offensive) so this is the way for so called metal to get in the charts and shit because it doesnt get too extreme, and so idiot dumb teens can listen to that thinking there hardcore without having to make an effort to hear more inferiorly talented catagorys than pop and nu-metal. basically anything u see on totp or hear on the radio, in other words commercialized music will most probably not be extreme metal.
Yes it is a very big confusion between people wanting to know what extreme metal is and why it is not commercial, and it is very annoying having to explain over and over to people, and prob after telling u people this u will probably forget it tommorow and think slipknot is extreme metal, but anyway i hope that helped a few people out.
btw i was the one who posted that first definition(chris neaves), man that was a pretty crappy explanation long time ago aswell, so i hope this one was a little better explained
me: what do you think of black metal dude?
idiot: oh yeah it rocks man, i listen to korn all the time, proper black metal that is.
me: rofl

A form of music. It combines metal, alternative, hip-hop, and various other things to create what is in large part talentless garbage. With the exceptions of a few decent listenable bands(Deftones, Korn, Chevelle, System of a Down, Slipknot) is pretty much complete shit. 99% of these bands put too much effort into their look, repetitive angsty lyrics that have no substance, talentless dropped-D,Db,C,etc tunings, shit drumming, turntables, rapping, and being accepted with the norm. These bands also have talentless guitar parts which if listened to more than twice could actually destroy nerves in your brain. The few good bands in this genre defy some of the rules of numetal and aviod sounding like everyone else. However others are repetitive, sound like everyone else, and basically can corrupt your soul. The people who listen to it are mainly kids who live life fine yet act pissed off and "relate to" the garbage lyrics of it(which all sound the same and are all about hating people for some stupid reason). They buy chains and clothes from Hot Topic, and aviod true metal at all costs, believing that they are "hardcore" by listening to dumbass Disturbed-like bands. While true metalheads listen to actual talent(Slayer, 80's Metallica possibly including the Black Album and less likely including Load+ReLoad, Megadeth, Anthrax, Testament, Dream Theater, Pantera, all bands with great talent and unique qualities). While some numetal is decent, possibly even good material, it cannot be taken extremely seriously or the evil of the bad numetal might take your innocent life.

Dumbass: Yea Metal is great, i listen to Korn, Slipknot and Disturbed.
Me: They are numetal you know, although Korn and Slipknot are alright
Dumbass: Yea its so heavy and they are so great and talented
Me: Listen to a fuckin Pantera record retard.

The vast majority of bad music you hear on the radio. Consists of heavy guitars (sometimes too heavy causing different octaves to become indistinguishable), and a usually a screaming/rapping lead singer. A good population of today's shittiest bands are lumped into the nu-metal category, such as Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd, 3 Doors Down and Slipknot. Currently there are only two good nu-Metal bands in existence, System of a Down (though most would not call them nu-metal simply because it's become more of a stigma than a genre) and Ill Nino, and most would agree with these choices.
Nu-metal suffers from a lack of originality... and often talent.

An often misdefined sub genre of metal. Nu Metal involves rapping, scratching and simple yet heavily distorted guitar work. People often mix up "Nu Metal" with "New Metal" Nu Metal is rap with guitars. New Metal is the metal that most younger metal bands are bringing out. New Metal isn't bad, its just the evolutionary path that metal has taken. Nu Metal however is close to dead, as most Nu Metal bands have either moved onto rap or progressed into New Metal

A sub genre of heavy metal, incorporating elements of mostly southern and doom metal with a quick tempo. Sex metal is music that is easy to listen to, has catchy riffs and sexy lyrics. It promotes sex, promiscuity, alcohol and or drug use. It is rock music that is arousing and also played during sex. The term "Sex Metal" was coined by the band Until Chaos after the band noticed their music often made females in the audience ready to go. Thus the birth of Sex Metal.
Just put on some sex metal bro, that will get her hot!
What is sex metal? Think of metal and think of sex and smash them together in an orgy of bodies and sound and there ya go
