This is the newest form of metal.
Much to the dismay of "old" metal fans, this "nu metal" is much accepted by todays culture. Old bands such as Pantera and Slayer had great musical talent, however today's listeners are typically more interested in the cross over of rap with the old sounds of metal. Nu Metal also includes more of an emphasis on the lower chords rather than the high pitched, more complexed chords played by the "original" metal bands. Nu metal music is also are accompanied by yelling and shrill screams, which in most cases should be deemed pointless. Regardless of wether or not you want to consider it "true" metal, this new genre IS here to stay... go, bitch and moan in your closet.
One last thing, you are all going to die while this genreation of music will live on until a next comes along. So why don't all you "haters" go, put on your Slayer albums and cry about how bad your life has become because of nu metal. waaaaah

A subgenre of music that was largely popular from 1996 - 2002 mostly. It still has a moderate following as of 2010 though. Bands like Korn, Limp Bizkit, Clawfinger, Disturbed, Hed PE, Linkin Park, Coal Chamber, and Vanilla Ice can all be considered Nu Metal bands. It has a subculture and the typical clothhing style of said subculture are baggy jeans/shorts, tattoos, piercings, Adidas brand shoes and clothing, skateboarding brand clothes and shoes(Adio, Etnies, DC Shoes, Vans, etc.) and sometimes dyed and/or spiked hair. Traditional Metalheads hate it due to the fact that Nu Metal dosen't have guitar solos and is more angsty thus making them say it is "Un Metal". I personally think it is the greatest genre of Rock/Metal to have ever been made!
Nu Metal fan - "Hey, have you heard the new Korn album? It AWESOME!"
Br00tal Metalhead - "Fuk Shit Metal it aint REAL Metal...SLAYERRRRRRRRRRR!!!!"
Nu Metal fan - "OOOOOO K?
Br00tal Metalhead - "Quit sayin its br00tall! its NOT METULLLLL!!!!!! Listen to REAL Metal! Like GOREGORE DIEEEE!!!"
Nu Metal fan - "Your a dumbass, goodbye" *starts blasting old school Staind on his iPod*.

A genre of music used to classify all bands any person does not like.
Person 1: Slipknot, Metallica, and Black Sabbath suck...
Person 2: Yeah, I really hate nu-metal too.

To all the turds that go Korn sux, Linkin Park is a bunch of crybabies, STFU!
Korn singer Jon Davis was raped by his neighbor, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park was sexually abused during his childhood, no wonder their songs have emotions in them.
About nu metal lyrics being repetetive, STFU! You all say Metallica is Metal, their St. Anger for instance... have you counted the times he repeats the st. anger shit?
About rap in nu metal... double STFU! I hate rap too, but not rock rap, i hate hip hop the piece of shit rap. Linkin Park MC Mike Shinoda writes the best rap ever, 50 cent is shit, singing about every time he buys something.
" I just bought bottled water,
Yo, drink it, yo!
Yo, drink it, yo!"
That's crap!
But Shinoda writes rap that no crappy metalhead bitch could ever write.
About emotional lyrics again.
Metal isn't just like:
"Whorship satan, dance around fire, rape your sister"
And Linkin Park and Korn writes about real stuff, stuff that happens unlike metalheads about satan, dragons and shit.
About popularity.
It seems like everyone hates nu metal bands for being rich and popular. Ozzy (cough, cough, old-ass shit) is freakin famous and filthy rich... HEY, He MUST be nu metal!!!!
You're all jealous that all those metalheads aren't as popular as nu metal bands.
About nu metal.
I don't think they were all like, let's be nu metal, cuz it's new and shiny!
Korn Hates being labelled as nu metal, Korn didnt say this is nu metal, some corporate bitches made it up!
About rebellion.
The dude who wrote about mallcore and how metal is about rebelling against the system of mall blah blah blah (ghey ass talk). I wanna see you rebel against mall. whadya do?
Moms says: Let's go to mall, rebel bastard.
Rebel bastard: NO!!! ( blows himself up with a modified toaster)
About being all about being popular (whatever).
So maybe some nu metal bands only formed to become famous, but if all the metalheads are just about making music cuz they love to, they would still be in their garages playing their songs. It's not like the forced Ozzy to sell his records.(Agent: Ozzy, become famous!
Ozzy: NO!!! You can't make me!
Agent: Chain him up, we're making him famous
Ozzy: NOO!!! NOOO!)
And Ozzy had a show on MTV! (Metalhead: Ozzy is dead to me!)
About no solos.
Maybe they like music without solos, just cuz they dont have them, doesn't mean they can't write them.
When Linkin Park played "By Myself" live in Texas, they played it with a something like a solo, sure it wasnt like 100 notes a second, but it was great.
I dont like solos myself, cuz they're all so fast and great, not my taste.
About mallcore...
Those kids are freaks, Korn didnt make them like that!
Has any of you seen Korn "Y'all want a single" music video?
I rest my case, and yours too, b*****s!
So what if i like nu metal and pop-punk (that's right!)
metal is not the only music!

A much hated and derided form of music that got popular somewhere between Nirvana and The Spice Girls. It basically took all the complexities of metal and replaced it with rap/hip hop elements.
Bands included: Limp Bizkit,Korn,Slipknot,Insane Clown Posse,Papa Roach and,to an extent,Evanescence and Lostprophets.
Mostly they were shitty beyond shitty but some bands were occasionally good. Korn usually throw out brilliant mosh music and Slipknot are always entertaning.
Nu metal was regarded by some as 80 hair metal for the modern generation,many more publically blasted it but secretly enjoyed it. That's what Nu Metal was really: a HUGE guilty pleasure. Shame on us all for being a part of it.
Once Limp Bizkit lumbered along the horizon,that dumb fuck Fred Durst singing about "Nookie" and "Rollin" like the bastard child of Vannila Ice and Monica Lewinsky,Nu Metal was officially dead. If it was ever alive,that is.
Nu Metal has been succesfully glossed over in the history books,much like Bon Jovi or The War. Slipknot are still trodding their music out to an ever depleating fanbase of 8 year olds,Korn are still doing their things like a 90s nostalgia act and everybody else has either died or retired. Linkin Park have "removed" their Nu Metal sound and Papa Roach has "gone sexy". Heaven help us!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>News just in: Due to the current rise of emo bands,some people are actually starting to miss Nu Metal.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
"Oh bring back Nu Metal!" wailed the teenage girl as she watched MTV. "Anything but THIS! No,I do not want a Panic! At The Fucking Disco CD!!!"

A very good form of music that can be considered a cross between death metal and alternative metal. includes bands such as: slipknot, system of a down, mudvayne, korn, and disturbed.
many people fell that nu-metal is a crappy sold-out form of death metal.
*smacks all the bitches that feel this way*
just cuz lots of the nu-metal bands are rich doesnt mean that they are sellouts. YOU DONT GET RICH IF YOU DONT HAVE TALENT.
unless you're 50 cent. but thats another topic.
nu-metal might not have the best lyrics or instrumentals, but it is still one of the best forms of music out there.
guy 1: dude are you going to see distubed and stone sour at the music as a weapon tour?
bitch: no dude, nu-metal sucks. i'd rather listen to 50 cent on my ipod.
guy 1: dude he just talks fast while a beat is playing.
bitch: so. you're cool if you listen to 50 cent. and that diturbed and stone sour shit sucks.
guy 1: *shanks a nigga*

It's time to set some things straight about Nu-metal, like what IS nu metal and what is not. First off, Nickelback and Three Doors Down are MUCH more like rock bands, not metal. Granted they suck, but they're not metal in the least, either lyrically or in theme. This is important because calling bands like them "nu-metal" gives nu-metal an even worse name than it already has.
I also notice that a lot of people here are jumping to the defense of System of a Down and I must say I agree. SOAD is the only "nu-metal" band that really stands out in the category. System's songs and lyrics have some cool themes much like early Metallica (no, I'm not saying they sound very much alike but the themes of the songs are similar) unlike the emotionally insecure screaming of Slipknot (they have 4 more members than they need and Cory can't sing for his life), Linkin Park (Chester sounds like he has a vibrator stuck in his larnyx) and of course that poser Fred Durst. SOAD's songs are also quite catchy 99% non-depressing, they'll even make you laugh sometimes. It is for this reason that I find it hard to actually call them nu metal. Maybe Alternative Metal would be better for SOAD. Besides, does their lead singer Serj sound much like your typical screaming nu metal frontman?
Overall, nu metal is like any other musical genre, with good bands and bad ones to match. Good nu metal bands include SOAD, Atreyu, Disturbed, Ill Nino, and some KoRn. Bad ones include poppy bands such as Linkin Park, Slipknot, POD, Limp Bizkit, some KoRn, Puddle of Mudd, and Drowning Pool.
Why diss nu-metal when you could be dissing rap instead?
