it is basically and purely, the light beer of music. It's not necessarily as hard or heavy as real metal music(cry me a river about it). It offers a variety of sounds, tastes, and moods , while still having the same base, while Metal is usually just loud angst music. Since it's easier on the ears usually, theres a greater chance of playing a numetal song in public without getting someone offended or pissed off. regular metal music, you have to enjoy it when your alone or with other people who like metal music.
Linkin Park and Adema are good examples of Nu Metal. Linkin Park has a bit of a rap feel to it and has a variety of tones and feelings while still keeping true to themselves. Adema can pull off songs that are almost emo(barricades in time) to songs that are truer to honest metal(Immortal,Estrella,Drowning). Korn, Slipknot, Deftones, and groups like them would also fall into the genre but stay very close to thier pure metal roots

To gain ones metal wings, the individual must ingage in sexual relations with a person or persons registered disabled with serious mobility disfunction.
With the excitement of the prospect of gaining the legendary 'metal wings', Bob did't hesitate in wheeling Sally to a quiet spot where he could happily penetrate her unabated.

A sub-genre of metal music which employs melodic, slow electric guitars and often classical instruments with operatic and growled vocals. Gothic metal has no direct connection with the gothic sub-culture instead that many people with dark aesthetics tend to like it. Lyrical themes include Darkness, depression, dark fantasies, dark aspects of love, isolation, medieval themes. Gothic metal is mostly ruined by posers who think that bands like nightwish, within temptation, cradle of filth and every god damn female fronted band is goth metal.
'True' Gothic metal bands are not some posers with dark clothes and eyeliner pretending to be goths, like any other sub genre of music gothic metal also has its own atmosphere and appearance like black metal with corpse paint etc. Gothic metal musicians are not pretending to be goths when they wear black, they are just creating an atmosphere.
It is widely hated and ignored by old school goths mainly for being called "Goth" metal and they will never give it a chance to know that it actually has the dominant lyrical themes of gothic fiction and poetry.
Summary:
· Female-fronted metal bands are not (all) Gothic Metal
· Symphonic Metal is not Gothic Metal
· Epic/Atmospheric Metal is not Gothic Metal
· Gothic Rock is not Gothic Metal
· Depressive/Suicidal Rock/Metal is not (necessarily) Gothic Metal
some Gothic Metal Bands : Tristania, Sirenia, (older) Theatre of Tragedy, Draconian (Gothic-doom metal), Darkwell, Lacrimosa, Theatres des Vampires, Avrigus, Fields of Nephilim (later works), Trail of Tears, How Like a Winter, Sins of thy Beloved, Octavia Sperati, The Vision Bleak, Beseech, Sonata Nocturna, Shroud of Tears

Group of hardcore metal fans, not pussy-metal hair-band fans, but real hardcore metal-music fans. Often spotted sporting riveted armbands, black leather trenchcoats, heavy metal-plated boots and long, black hair. Will frequently haedbang, play air-guitar and do the metal/satan hand-sign.
Dude, with that totally gay pink shirt, I'd try to avoid the metal milita over there if I were you.

A great genre of metal.
Doesn't matter how many people discard it at not metal, it truly is apart of metal history.
If anything, Nu-metal should be getting the criticism, this is how i see it.
Nu-metal is alienated from metal, musically, because it is based on alien musical influences, namely rap. Glam metal may have been "watered down" for commercial consumption, but it never pretended to fuse metal with anything. To change a Poison song into something that would be universally regarded as traditional heavy metal you need only speed it up, thicken the guitars, change the vocals and tweak the rhythms and such. To change a Korn song into traditional heavy metal you have to completely deconstruct it, and remove something fundamental to it--namely, the rap elements. There is thus a great musical difference between glam metal and Nu-metal.
So, For those who don't agree that glam metal is metal and prefer to call it rock music, I would suggest you are attempting to re-write history. Calling bands from this genre un-metal or unworthy would ruffle many feathers of longtime fans of metal that know glam metal does have it's place in metal.

One that listens to all the Metal genre. Metal heads can and could be classified as a typical down to earth person, when turned upon are dangerous and can be harmful as the music they listen to can be the drive for adrenaline and fury when needed. Clothing can range from old to new styles or a combination of the 2. Old can be seen as blue jeans and leather jackets while as the new holding on to the band T-shits or jackets to dark pants as in between light blue pants with dark colored T-shirts. Always doing there own thing most verbal conflict does not effect can usaully hold temper in and burts it all out in an effective act of compulsion and agression, often times scares the the opposer and shows of the "No Fear" attitude. Knows when and what they are Capable when they knwo they can lose a fight they will jump in anyway to show how they will not back down. Can take a beating even if they are weak. Small i numbers but can take on multiple waves of people on there own with no regards for the stakes at risk. Very protective of there friends and can and will die for them when threatened. Despises most cultures "Emo, Pop, some Metal heads dislike hardcore(for reasons of the style of mosh is 'fighting invisible ninjas' or common rivalry between the genres as hardcore kids out number the metal heads)". Open to all ideas and is very conservative on most things. Truely unique people for they can differ from most personalities ranging from hyper and agressive to calm and faint. not many in skools or even out since the musichas died since the ninities, listens to most underground music of the genre and is always looking for new bands to get there hands on and headbang to (will even show there affection for thetre music even if not listening to it and will use lil head wips to as the song is stuck in there head)
slipknot, korn, dream theater, skidrow, slayer, anthrax, Dimmu borgir, Cradle of Filth, Soulfly, Soilwork, In flames etc. (various from artist to artist as metal heads have different opinions)
