Music that is insanely complicated and takes considerable technical skill to play, that is typically ruined by growling and lyrics that sing about "death" and "satan" and similiar words to try and make the music deeper than it already, but actuals detracts from its overall quality.
Fear Factory is death metal without the pathetic lyrics that attempt to make it scary.

Nu-metal, despite it's misleading name, is not metal in the least bit. It is angst-ridden, whiney shit. It fuses elements of rap and grunge, and has no actual metal influence at all. Some popular bands of the genre include Korn, Slipknot and Drowning Pool. Bands of this genre often utilize minimal talent and creativity in their music, resulting in watered-down, commercial trite. This genre's commercial success is not a result of creativity or innovation, otherwise, how do you explain Britney Spears?
Fans are encouraged to rebel against their parents and the system, all the while relying on their parents to drive them to and from the mall so they can shop at Hot Topic. Fans will viciously defend any nu-metal band, often by saying that people don't understand said band, or said band is too hardcore for the mainstream. They also stand by the idea that commercial success must mean that a band is talented and creative. This however is obviously not true, since nu-metal bands are neither creative nor talented. This is also ironic, because they will turn right around and insist that their favorite nu-metal bands are not mainstream. They will insist that they have been fans of the music since the band was just a small local band and that they are still in the underground, when in fact they just discovered that band on MTV a week earlier.
Slapnut fan #1: This is so hardcore, what's it called?!?
Slapnut fan #2: Dude, it's Slipknot, they're a nu-metal band. I've been a fan of these guys since they were a garage band!
(What Slapnut fan #2 was actually thinking):Dude, I heard these guys on MTV the other day and had my mom drive me up to the mall to buy me their CD!

nu metal is a genre of music , originated from heavy metal bands like iron maiden , ACDC black sabeth , then thrash came about with bands like metallica , nu metal is a subgenre and is more sad and doomish , it was founded with bands like koRn ( which rock) these bands werent as talented as the original heavy metal bands but made a sound that people liked . some people describe slipknot as nu metal but some true metalheads that i know think difrantly and sey there true metal but they might get confused by how heavy and how corey taylor shouts but the lyrics are the things which tell or not if they are nu metal. i think slipknit are a very good band think they are nu metal because they are nu (new) and original but the sound is to the likeing of thrash and screamo rockers who will not call it nu metal...well in my school , i on the other hand like nu metal, black metal ,goth rock and the thrash an hard rock an loads shit but nu metal bands like limp bizkit some people will call gay cos dey rap and loads do but koRn are the true founders of nu metel but since there first few albums they lost popularity and got just referd as hard rock to the metal heads and metal heads started to show a liking of them but not as much as thrash and screamo.
i will admit that nu metal bands sometimes arn't as talneted as original metal bands and the morden thrash but the sound they produced was to the liking of record producers an shit , but the rapcore defeintly wasn't liked by many metal heads.
slipknot to this day to anyone who is not a fan who either hates them or just dusn't listen will only no slipknot as a metal band and will criticise metal heads and just make fun of that and call them emo shit wich is gai , but for those metalheads who have a disliking for slipknot and do refer them as nu metal shit will not like them for this point but there are more points why they don't. true metal heads might not like them because they are sad and gothic ( sometimes gothic) and will call them emo ( they don't know whAT EMO MEANS) because the original heavy metal was a heavier take on rock and it was either normal rock n rollish lyrics or devil worshiping (slightly) and vilont which they love but the dark sadness edge was not to their liking.
nu metal,koRn , slipknot , linkin park , limp bizkit ,

Hard rock music that began in the early 1980's and lost much popularity during the 90's, due to Kurt Kobain and the grunge movement. Hair metal bands are reconisable by their big hair and flashy clothing. They mostly wrote songs about partying, women, and their whole lifestyle.
Popular Hair metal bands: Motley Crue, Poison, Ratt, Cinderella, Warrant

a type of music that is so misunderstood, the drums is insanely hard to play b/c its so amazing, and the guitar is distorted but the solos are hard....overall it takes up alot of talent, but the lyrics ARE SO FUCKING STUPID THAT IT GIVES METAL A BAD NAME (either way i think death metal is cool)
kickass music w/ stupid lyrics- thats why thrash metal is the best

First off: It's not a genre if it has one fucking band.
A term coined by slightly above-average gothic rock band HIM to make them seem more edgy to the 12 year olds who listen to them because Ville Valo has a pretty face. It has none of the common elements of classic metal, such as guitar oriented songs, technical solos with heavy blues influence, complicated drum tempos, their lyrics aren't even as dark as Black Sabbath's.
Love metal =/= metal. The only reason it's gained any recognition is because that douchebag Bam Margeraisn't creative enough to think of his own symbol to put in every room of his house.
