A form of music. It combines metal, alternative, hip-hop, and various other things to create what is in large part talentless garbage. With the exceptions of a few decent listenable bands(Deftones, Korn, Chevelle, System of a Down, Slipknot) is pretty much complete shit. 99% of these bands put too much effort into their look, repetitive angsty lyrics that have no substance, talentless dropped-D,Db,C,etc tunings, shit drumming, turntables, rapping, and being accepted with the norm. These bands also have talentless guitar parts which if listened to more than twice could actually destroy nerves in your brain. The few good bands in this genre defy some of the rules of numetal and aviod sounding like everyone else. However others are repetitive, sound like everyone else, and basically can corrupt your soul. The people who listen to it are mainly kids who live life fine yet act pissed off and "relate to" the garbage lyrics of it(which all sound the same and are all about hating people for some stupid reason). They buy chains and clothes from Hot Topic, and aviod true metal at all costs, believing that they are "hardcore" by listening to dumbass Disturbed-like bands. While true metalheads listen to actual talent(Slayer, 80's Metallica possibly including the Black Album and less likely including Load+ReLoad, Megadeth, Anthrax, Testament, Dream Theater, Pantera, all bands with great talent and unique qualities). While some numetal is decent, possibly even good material, it cannot be taken extremely seriously or the evil of the bad numetal might take your innocent life.

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)

1. A slang term for young Christians who pretend it's cool to be moral or act sarcastically immoral.
2. A teenage Christian who attends TEC (Teens Encounter Christ) or a Youth Group.
3. A teenager who is overly zealous about Christianity.
4. A teenager who non-satirically preaches "It's Hip To Be Square."
5. A teenager who listens to Christian music.
1. Why are these nu christians always ranting about how sweet Youth Group is?
2. Don't these nu christians realize I don't give a damn about Jars of Clay?

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?
