A garbage genre that has elements of pop, rap, punk , and emo music. These songs are in no way metal, and evolved from a genre called Punk. The name is edgy and stupid. The genre uses computer generated sounds and has no talent. The genre has bands which are good such as KoRn and Slipknot but typically sucks.
Friend-"Nu-metal is my favorite genre of music"
Me-"Unless it's KoRn or Slipknot how can you listen to that garbage."
Friend-"My favorite band is Hollywood Undead"
Me-"I can't even look at you right now, fuck off"

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!

A subgenre of nu-metal. More mainstream and commercialized than nu-metal, nu-nu-metal depends heavily on samples, electronic loops, sponsorship and merchandising.
Allows nu-metallers to look down on others the same way metallers look down on them.

To do the Nu-Metal Face:
1) PLace your clenched fists against the sides of your head, pressing in on your temples.
2) Contort your mouth and eyes in the way that you might if you were passing a really big shit
3) Rock back and forth slightly.
4) Scream "Noooo! I won't tidy my rooooom!!!" at the top of your pre-pubescent voice.
5) Repeat as necessary, occasionally pulling up the top of your Linkin Park hoodie for effect.
