The second best genre of music, mistaken for Death Metal but Death Metal is growling and Black Metal is screaming.
Black Metal is not music made by black people

A subgenre of heavy metal that evolved from thrash metal and speed metal. It was made famous by the series of church arsons in Norway, committed by some of its well known musicians. Not all black metallers are Satanists, a lot of them are simply opposed to Christianity. Some true black metal bands include Gorgoroth, Mayhem, Burzum, Immortal, and Darkthrone. Poseur black metal bands include Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, and sadly, many others.
Fans of black metal have more of a stereotype than any other metal subgenre. They are though of as wearing all black, leather jackets, and having long, black, straight hair. This is bullshit. Black metallers vary in appearance as much as fans of any musical genre.
Fag: Hey you heard that black metal band Cradle of Filth?
Black metaller: Go listen to some Gorgoroth you pussy.

Nü Metal isn't classic metal. It's not supposed to be classic metal. It is a different genre. That's what everybody that has defined nü metal needs to understand.
For nü metal, I mainly listen to Mudvayne, System of a Down, and Stone Sour. But I also listen to real metal; Children of Bodom, In Flames, and Arch Enemy to name a few.
Just because it isn't as hard as classic metal, that doesn't mean it isn't good.
Nü metal is good in it's own respect.

An awesome metal subgenre without crappy guitar solos.
Classic metal fan: Let's listen to Manowar.
Nu metal fan: I'd rather listen to Korn.
Classic metal fan: Fuck, dude, it isn't REAL metal, it's just shitty nu metal, without awesome guitar solos or musical talent.
Nu metal fan: a music's value isn't based on its complexity. Read Adorno, asshole.
Classic metal fan: I'd rather play WoW.

although i agree w/nearly everything most other posts say about metal heads, i will add my own reminiscing, er definition...my fave metal heads in HS were some of the funniest f*cking guys i knew-usu sat away from the popular kids, jocks etc. in the lunchroom & were down-to-earth/no bs. One of my best memories was one particular guy i knew, eddie, who would loudly squawk like a chicken down the hallway, & was once known to trade shit like knives for a bag of weed. most metal heads would give you sh*t for listening to anything they'd consider gay, and loved to bust your balls, esp. the guys, such as tease you in class or generally shake things up...and it’s true, most metal-heads are really knowledgeable about their music & lyrics & should def. not be f'd with; they are some of the realest people in h.s. as far as i was concerned & it pissed me off when ppl would think they weren't as bright or whatever..stupid stereotypes. the same guy I mentioned earlier would cut class & STILL do better than most of the other straight-edge kids..metal helped us cope in h.s. b/c it's one of the hardest times in life & a lot of those kids coming up had it harder than their preppier kids who lived in a f*ckin’ suburban bubble....i listened to G N' R all of 10th grade & lost my virginity to 'hell's bells' so i say yeah, metal ain't dead yet...cheers to metal-heads everywhere; the clothes maybe ain’t the same, but you know who you are!
Dudes: Back in the 90's guys wore Slayer or Metallica t's, trenches, black denim or maybe a black biker jacket. Typically metal heads I knew had long hair, sometimes stringy & occasionally of the beloved mullet varietal. Others often sported an earring & some skull & crossbone jewelry, plus black Vans hightops or combat boots. Throw on a flannel & a concert t and you’ve got the look.
Chicks: the girls usually wore lots of black eyeliner, acid-washed jeans, feathered hair & were frequently busted smoking in the girls room while teasing their giant hair with a can of aqua net...good times!

To be incapable of understanding metal, be it lyrics or meaning.
Dude 1: Did you hear Chris bitching about Slayer? Said he didn't understand a damn thing!
Dude 2: Yeah I know, he's totally Metal-literate.

Copied from wikipedia:Bands linked with nu metal derive influence from a variety of diverse styles, including electronica/electronic music, funk, glam rock, gothic rock, grunge, hardcore punk, hip hop, industrial rock, jazz, post punk and synthpop. Also, nu metal derives influence from multiple subgenres of heavy metal including rap metal, funk metal and thrash metal. Nu metal music is mostly syncopated and based on riffs. Its lack of guitar solos and virtuousity contrasts it with other metal subgenres. Another way in which nu metal is contrasted with other metal subgenres is its emphasis on rhythm. Similarities with other metal subgenres include its use of common time, distorted guitars, power chords and note structures primarily revolving around Dorian, Aeolian or Phrygian modes. Some nu metal bands use 7-string guitars over traditional 6-string guitars. 7-string guitars, which are sometimes downtuned to increase heaviness, resulted in bass guitarists using five-string and six-string instruments. Some nu metal bands feature a DJ for additional rhythmic instrumentation. The vocals of many bands may range from melodic singing to rapping to screaming to death growling or in some cases have all of these styles in a single song but it can range from song to song. The lyrics of many nu metal bands focus on pain and personal alienation rather than the themes of other metal subgenres. I thought Id put a definition in that doesnt use childish behaviour to put foward biased arguments
All the are nu metal: Korn, Slipknot, Static-x, Disturbed, Mudvayne, System of A Down...etc.
