A genre of metal that incorporates traditional metal with other elements such as hip hop or electronica. A lot of it is really good--unlike the boring wasteland known as saint anger by Metallica. Like any other genre there are good bands and bad bands. The good: (old) Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Crazy Town,(Hed)pe, Deftones etc. The okay, they usually have some good songs and some crap ones: Staind, Cold, Korn, Slipknot. the bad: Breaking Benjamin, Flyleaf, Ten Years, Earshot, Static X, etc.
Nu metal was good between 1998-2002. It died in 2003. Now it is crap except for Korn.
I seriously don't know why Metallica and death metal are so great. I mean, all they do is play their guitars really fast and scream.

The reason hipsters were born -- in the late '90's, Bizkit and Korn were all the rage. Linkin Park and Staind dominated as well in the beginning of this decade. Since rock stations removed Weezer and Beck off the radio for this garbage, people who used to like rock either turned to online music magazines for guidance or switched to rap instead. Mp3 blogs and internet radio began stealing listeners from rock radio so now, because rock stations play
either nu metal or old alternative (Weezer, Beck), modern rock stations are dropping quick. So next time some pretentious scenester sings some Futureheads song he heard off the OC, thank yourself and your red backwards baseball cap, Bizkit biter.
Dude #1: Dude, how come my friends all watch the OC now?
Dude #2: Uh, because they like to watch hot chicks and listen to decent music.
Dude #1: Are we the only dudes who like to see sweaty bald guys with neck tattos anymore?
Dude #2: I don't know, but it was fun destroying Woodstock and FM rock radio.
Dude #1: Hells yeah!

Nu Tang is a pop/hip hop group out of Greensboro, NC, although many of the members are from the Metro area.
Nu Tang consists of several memebers who started their group after realizing hip hop was dead.
Nu Tang is heavily influenced by the Wu Tang Clan and Eminem, as well as many underground rappers such as GDP, Saigon, Emily Rugburn, Shape, and the rest of Division East Records. Nu Tang is currently signed to their own production company, Empty Mailbox Productions, but is looking for a legit label to sign with. They produced their 1st demo entitled "Step to the NU" in late December and their 1st full length album "How to Draw a Superhero" is due out in mid-April.
Have you heard the new Nu Tang single, "Turn My Blank On?" It's ill.
