A late sub-genre of metal. Nu metal has loud, heavy repetitive riffs, screamed or growled aggressive, suicidal vocals and sometimes some turntabilism (some nu-metal bands rap vocals and some properly sing vocals like Sevendust). Some say that nu-metal is shit, untalented music. I partly agree, but there are some talented bands like KoRn. They usually use fairly complicated riffs in their songs.
Linkin Park is one of the corny, gay shit nu-metal bands.

One guy bangs out power chords on his tuned down guitar while the other who's an awesome lead player does a wicked awesome guitar solo while any old monkey bangs on the drums and a special kind of asshole screams the stupidest shit you've ever head in your life!
A typical metal singer sounds like this:
Picture puking your guts out in the toilet while being raped in the ass with a crowbar or two-by-four or some other painfully blunt instrument.
THAT my friends is heavy metal.

Heavy Metal is by far a better form of music than anything going today. Although some of today's "nu metal" bands have a bit of talent, none compare to metal gods of years past such as Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Slayer, Pantera, Metallica (as in pre 1990's Selloutica), and even Alice in Chains on Facelift. This was angry music with a purpose, not just angry for the sake of selling records.
If you want an example of good heavy metal music, listen to some Iron Maiden or Motorhead, fuck this Korn and Slipknot crybaby shit.

A type of powerful rock music that is split into three types:
The bad. The US screaming crap that everyone judges it on. Idiot posers shouting and attacking their guitars. Sadly this rubbish is popular and gives eveyone a bad opinion of the genre. It sells itself on retarded image. eg Slipknot and System of a Down
The good stuff. Characterised by the best and most original lyrics in music, amazing guitar playing, some incredibly beautiful singing Tarja Turunen from Nightwish and some fo the most emotional songs ever Maiden's Paschendale. It is sold by the talent of all the members of the band most music is all about the singing.
The ugly. Weird stuff that isn't for everybody. Often with strange growling vocals not shouting. Eg Finntroll and the better songs of Cradle Of Filth
Person: Metal si all screaming and bad guitar playing
Me: *Plays Nightwish's Ghost Love Score*
Person: OMG that was so beautiful, my media brainwashed mind is now cleansed

Any good music festival has a clear "no metal" guideline preventing badly dressed, long haired freaks who wear a 1998 Metallica shirt and black leather pants to come to the festival.
Jake: Hey Tom, how was the Sziget festival this year?
Tom: Awesome, they had cheap beer and no metal.
