A modern version of metal music, this genre includes bands such as KoRn, Slipknot, System of a Down, Limp Bizkit, Tool, iLL NiNo, Disturbed, Godsmack, Staind and a lot of others that are just too shitty to even mention. Like any genre of music, nu-metal has its good and bad (except for emo, it's all bad). However, nu-metal is almost always violently attacked by Metal Snobs who think 80's metal is the be-all-end-all of music.
While I am a huge fan of Metallica, Megadeth, and Black Sabbath, I believe that there are some really good nu-metal bands, and the people who constantly rip on nu-metal are fuckups, losers who listen to punk/emo/indie rock and stoners in their mid forties. Get it through your heads, death metal and black metal fucking suck. Go rape some school girls or pretend you're "dark" and "evil" because you like listening to some Scandinavian fag scream about the devil. Death/black metal fans love to say nu-metal gives metal a bad name, but it's really the death-head morons that rave about murder, human sacrifice, killing babies and Satan who are responsible for that.
The truth is, in many cases, many young people who start out listening to nu-metal are later introduced to old school metal; a lot of metal fans enjoy both because they appreciate variation. You want to bash nu-metal? Target losers like Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit.
Good nu-metal: KoRn, SOAD, Disturbed, iLL NiNo, Atreyu, FLAW
Bad nu-metal: Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Staind, Puddle of Mudd... those not mentioned are just average or mediocre.

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.

Nu-metal, despite it's misleading name, is not metal in the least bit. It is angst-ridden, whiney shit. It fuses elements of rap and grunge, and has no actual metal influence at all. Some popular bands of the genre include Korn, Slipknot and Drowning Pool. Bands of this genre often utilize minimal talent and creativity in their music, resulting in watered-down, commercial trite. This genre's commercial success is not a result of creativity or innovation, otherwise, how do you explain Britney Spears?
Fans are encouraged to rebel against their parents and the system, all the while relying on their parents to drive them to and from the mall so they can shop at Hot Topic. Fans will viciously defend any nu-metal band, often by saying that people don't understand said band, or said band is too hardcore for the mainstream. They also stand by the idea that commercial success must mean that a band is talented and creative. This however is obviously not true, since nu-metal bands are neither creative nor talented. This is also ironic, because they will turn right around and insist that their favorite nu-metal bands are not mainstream. They will insist that they have been fans of the music since the band was just a small local band and that they are still in the underground, when in fact they just discovered that band on MTV a week earlier.
Slapnut fan #1: This is so hardcore, what's it called?!?
Slapnut fan #2: Dude, it's Slipknot, they're a nu-metal band. I've been a fan of these guys since they were a garage band!
(What Slapnut fan #2 was actually thinking):Dude, I heard these guys on MTV the other day and had my mom drive me up to the mall to buy me their CD!

A late sub-genre of metal. Nu metal has loud, heavy repetitive riffs, screamed or growled aggressive, suicidal vocals and sometimes some turntabilism (some nu-metal bands rap vocals and some properly sing vocals like Sevendust). Some say that nu-metal is shit, untalented music. I partly agree, but there are some talented bands like KoRn. They usually use fairly complicated riffs in their songs.
Linkin Park is one of the corny, gay shit nu-metal bands.

a type of music(noise) that pollutes both the air and the minds of many suburban kids. Bands in this genre include slipknot, disturbed, korn, and mushroom head. Nu-metal bands use false emotions to sell albums to teenagers and sometimes very immature adults. These consumers of the over-priced nu-metal cds and merch are often teenagers struggling with their ego, sexuality, confidence, polularity, will to live, etc. They can be identified as wearing giant wallet chains, oversized jnco jeans, ball necklaces, and overpriced band shirts(all of which are over- compensating for something of lesser size). Nu-metal is made and listened to by people with way too much self-pity and way to little discernment about music.
all of the music they repetedly play on the radio to satisfy the unintelligent and self-loathing minds of many suburban teenagers.
