Okay, here is the deal with nu-metal: it is a new genre of rock/metal. When you think about it, what is new about it? There have been plenty of people making metal and rock since the 80's. Most metal and rock has been built off of that.
Most bands marketed as nu-metal aren't really true heavy metal anyway.
Look at me...I'm cool because I listen to nu-metal.
Shut the fuck up and listen to some real shit, like Children of Bodom.

Talentless tripe created 10 years ago by record companies to replace the absence of real metal from the mainstream. Usual audience: angst-ridden teens who watch MTV religiously, or corporate slaves jumping on the next trend.
Korn, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Mudvayne, Disturbed, etc.

Form of music brought back to mainstream after grunge was thought to "destroy" real heavy metal of the 70's, 80's and early 90's.
These "Nu-Metal"-ists often use rapping and DJ sounds to enhance the sound. Although they are not really metal bands, they pose to be by using angry growls and screams over weak, riffless guitars uncommon to real heavy metal.
Downing Pool, Ill Nino, Cold, Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit

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.

"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)
