Possibly the worst genre of music. It consists of a asshole banging out "blast beats" on his drum set, a bassist that you can't even hear and a guitarist playing the crappiest riffs possible.
The vocals sound like some dude puking razors or something.
Death Metal fans are fucking faggots that will never get laid and they hate everybody that doesn't listen to death metal. They have some sort of strange hatred towards fans of hip hop and nu metal.
Death Metal fans say that anyone that listens to nu metal or metalcore would be scared to death if they heard a death metal song. No they would just laugh there ass off like everyone else does.
Steve - Listen to this Death Metal song isn't it so brutal? I bet if a nu-metal kid heard this he'd shit himself in fear.
Me: No he would just laugh at how bad this crap is.
Steve: You just don't understand real metal.
Me: No I just have good taste in music.

1. Probably the best genre of music. Created by bands like Led Zepplin and Deep Purple, then revloutionized by 80's bands like Iron Maiden and METALLICA, and is still kept alive today by bands like Tool and Cradle of Filth. Basically, its pure anger turned into music.
2. A animated, adult-oriented film (u.s.) based on a french, Adult oriented Comic. It has gained a large cult following and, even spawned a crappy sequal, Heavy Metal 2000
1. Metallica is god.
2. Heavy metal is one of the only rated R american animated films ever.

A seriously awesome style of music which is much more difficult (at least for guitar) than normal rock. But I do not see anyone mentioning the band that I think owns heavy metal, Tool. I am a professional violist and I play guitar, and musically, heavy metal is very similar to classical, it takes skill to play and write.
Tool's music is 100 times what any Blink 182 or Simple Plan guitarist can play. And musically speaking, it is, well actual music.

A genre of music begining in the 1970's, which gained mainstream audience in the 1980's, suffered a decline in the 1990's, and now enjoys a more underground success, despite some hair metal bands still breaking into the mainstream.
The first hair metal band is argued by many, although Quiet Riot's "Metal Health" was the first metal album to reach number one on the bilboard charts, and so is often refered to as the begining of the genre, despite Quiet Riot being active throughout the 1970's.
The genre often involved high pitched vocals. The genre's direction would often differ from band to band or even song to song, some displaying pop characteristics, and other displaying blues characteristics, such as Warrant's "Train Train". Lyrical content would focus on an up-beat look at life, involving parties, drugs (Motley Crue's "Dr. Feelgood"), sex (Warrant's "Cherry Pie"), relationships (Blue Crystal's "Someone"), as well as other themes in keeping with a comical or "party hard" look on life ("Slick Black Catillac", "We're Not Gonna Take It", "You're The Only Hell Your Momma Ever Raised").
Power Ballads also became large in Hair Metal, and by the end of the 90's became incredibly processed and watered-down. Examples include "Living On A Prayer" and "Home Sweet Home".
Hair Metal has been meaningful. Warrant's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" deals with two innocents witnessing two police officers commiting murder, and Marilyn Manson's "Mechanical Animals" album deals heavily with the negative effects of drugs.
The visual component of Hair Metal is huge. Many hair metal bands had elaborate stage antics, with pyrotechnics and wire-work. Hair Metals also generally wear make-up, fashion their hair, and wear outfits suggesting femininity. One hair metal performer, Blackie Lawless, took this to the extremes by cutting pieces of raw meat up on stage via the buzzsaw attached to his cod-piece.
Hair Metal's decline is usually credited to the rise of Alternate Rock, although it can also be assigned to the genre being considered sexist, the break-up of key bands, many bands changing direction, and also many individuals involved entering rehab, as well as the "dark side" of the genre, which was displayed in "The Decline Of Western Civilisation II: The Metal Years", which showed many Hair Metalers intoxicated. Rather than looking "cool", it simply looked pathetic.
The genre now has an underground following, and has taken on a much edgier attitude, look, and sound. Many hair metal bands continue to tour and release albums, usually heavier and dealing with more extreme situations.

A newer type of "heavy" music that is not really metal for a large number of reasons
1. Metal has always been associated with wild solos, musical proficiencey, TALENT, etc. Nu metal lacks in this regard
2.People who listen to this are usually fat and ugly teens and are therefore depressed. You know how people cut themselves to "relive pain?" Thats what they must be doing mutilating themselves with horrible music.
3. however, many people think all teens are into this shit; I am a teen, but i am thin and sexy, and am also amazingly good at the guitar. I listen to real metal- Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Metallica, Priest, Manowar, etc.
4. Not all new bands are Nu Metal (and consequencially crappy) ie. Children of Bodom who totally rule because.... They have talent!!!
Everyone who defends Nu-Metal has nothing in life to hold on to anymore, and therefore are attracted to fellow lowlifes that are Nu-Metal bands.
