A genre of music that is rejected by metal elitists and is labeled "poser metal" or "mallcore". Even though a lot of the bands in this genre are terrible, a couple bands like static x or slipknot are decent.
Nu-Metal (also called neo-metal, aggro-rock) is a subgenre of heavy metal. It evolved from alternative metal and eventually became it's own subgenre in the mid to late 90s. It includes many artists such as Korn, Slipknot and Disturbed in their first work, The Sickness (although, David Draiman has stated in an interview he felt it sounded more like reggae metal, similar to Skindred.) and lesser known bands such as Coal Chamber, Flaw and Sevendust. The genre itself receives unwarranted and unneeded bashing and criticism from say, thrashers and brutal death metalers, and then again from whiny teen fags that listen to one direction or whatever. They seem to forget that these artists were pioneers that came up with a new musical genre. What have your artists done? Recreated something done how many times? Nu-Metal is an excellent example of vocal and instrumental talent (excluding fred durst. He has no perceivable talent of which to speak, coming from a true nu-metal fan.) Its quite fun to listen to and it doesn't deserve the bashing and wrinkling of noses whenever its name is mentioned. I can guarantee that when you were you an angsty teen, you had a korn poster in your bedroom, or a copy of the slipknot debut in your room. The whole musical world respect Korn For ushering in a completely new genre, me personally, I think that that's worth something.
Gary: Did you listen to the korn self titled?
Sean: Yeah! I was headbangin in my sleep! Perfect example of nu-metal gone right!
Gary: don't listen to limp bizkit, they'll turn you right off of it. fred fuckin durst...
Sean: what a fuckin douchebag..
Whoever thinks they can make a new kind of metal, is wrong, Metal is defined AND ALIVE! Nu metal shouldn't even have the "METAL" tag on it, it's got NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with REAL METAL (ie. Pantera, Sepultura, 80' Metallica, Iron Maiden, Stratovarius, et cetera...!) There's a lot of NEW (I mean NEW, RECENT) True Metal band out there, which are worth intelligent people's attention; examples are: Children of Bodom, God Forbid, Norther, Youthquake, Fprce of Evil, etc.
Out with Nu Metal - it's abou money, true Metal is about music, having a good wine, fucking nice women, fun and having a laugh!
Nu Metal is for depressed teenagers and goth wannabes!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Hail Satan!

Music invented by crack-snorting wheeler-dealers and bored kids from the suburbs with no musical taste.
Usually involes too many turntables and not a lot of talent.
Also much whining and poserish head-banging is necessary.
God I hate Korn. They're nothing but a bunch of eyeliner-wearing, talentless nu-metal fucks.
