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

"There’s so much mass pop bullshit, even in the rock genre—I’m sorry, but I think that shit is just so fucking farce. I listen to the radio, all the nü-metal crap, and I don’t want to drop names, but like Drowning Pool’s ‘Let the Bodies Hit the Floor,’ to destructure that song, there’s nothing there!” -Quinn Allman
any wannabe metal bands that can't quite fit hardcore, thrash, etc.

is metal that evolved off mixing with different technics, hardly uses any guitar solos, the vocals are usually screaming or whining, and most of it sucks. You are better of listening to real metal such as Black Sabbath, Megadeth, Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest and other Real Metal than this Nu-metal shit.
Linkin Park, Limp Biskit, Slipknot, Korn, Mudvayne, System of a Down(the only good Nu-Metal band)

Dear god how prejudice are you people...
First off bands like metallica, and iron maiden are not nu metal. Now I will say something and be least offencive as possible.
Nu Metal has become really really mainstream and i understand why most of it is hated. Yes it is very popular among the youth but some adults like me enjoy it as well. Bands such as static-x dont bring that "My parents hate me shit" into it. And what you people have done to this genre is what i could do with whatever shit you listen to. So stop being so prejudice and if you dont like it shut the fuck up unless your asked your opinion.
Bands that use control over vocal screams unlike black metal which all the vocalists sound like the vocalist to lamb of god.
Black metal = Americanised Death Metal
Real Death Metal is found in europe but the bands are too crazy to be let loose in america.
See my point about prejudice?

A modern version of metal music, this genre includes bands such as KoRn, Slipknot, System of a Down, Limp Bizkit, Tool, iLL NiNo, Disturbed, Godsmack, Staind and a lot of others that are just too shitty to even mention. Like any genre of music, nu-metal has its good and bad (except for emo, it's all bad). However, nu-metal is almost always violently attacked by Metal Snobs who think 80's metal is the be-all-end-all of music.
While I am a huge fan of Metallica, Megadeth, and Black Sabbath, I believe that there are some really good nu-metal bands, and the people who constantly rip on nu-metal are fuckups, losers who listen to punk/emo/indie rock and stoners in their mid forties. Get it through your heads, death metal and black metal fucking suck. Go rape some school girls or pretend you're "dark" and "evil" because you like listening to some Scandinavian fag scream about the devil. Death/black metal fans love to say nu-metal gives metal a bad name, but it's really the death-head morons that rave about murder, human sacrifice, killing babies and Satan who are responsible for that.
The truth is, in many cases, many young people who start out listening to nu-metal are later introduced to old school metal; a lot of metal fans enjoy both because they appreciate variation. You want to bash nu-metal? Target losers like Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit.
Good nu-metal: KoRn, SOAD, Disturbed, iLL NiNo, Atreyu, FLAW
Bad nu-metal: Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Staind, Puddle of Mudd... those not mentioned are just average or mediocre.

The new wave of musicians who grew up listening to 70's and 80's metal. The new metal bands have thir roots in old metal but use other techniques to produce a new sound. for example many nu metal bands use sampling, rap-like lyrics,low pitch, the list goes on and its diffrent for each nu metal band.
Nu metal had sucess in the late 90's (even thought it existed as early as 1991) but now people have turned on nu metal and it has fallen out of favor.
Many fans of the old metal cant accept the evolution of their genre. People also dont like nu metal because it was used as just another fad and once a fad is over everyone hates it.
But nu metal lives on. Thier are only th loyalest fans left and we wont stop listening to what we like to listen to because you dont like it.
their are many nu metal bands but the best and most popular are: Korn, slipknot,Limp Bizkit, P.O.D., System of a Down, Linkin Park, Disturbed, Powerman 5000, Rage Aginst the Machine, and Godsmack. (yes Godsmack they aren't old metal). Their are many more.
