Oh, boy. People will hate me for this. How joyous.
Nu metal is a subgenre of metal which takes influences from that and blends it with elements of other music genres such as hip hop, funk, industrial, and grunge.
Vocalists use various techniques including clean singing, rapping, screaming, and growls.
Guitarists (and/or bassists) will drop-tune their instrument in effort to produce a heavier sound, although some guitarists, like James Shaffer of Korn, will use seven-string guitars to either mod the sound and/or expand the range. This may be the part grunge kicks in, since grunge takes influence from sludge metal, which takes influence from doom metal...you get the point.
Drummers will mostly use two kick drums, although using a twin pedal is okay.
Some nu metal bands often bring in electronic sound into the music; often using drum machines, samplers, synthesizers, programming, etc.
Lyrics are often focused around personal issues, like drug addictions, depression, neglect, alienation, etc etc. Wait, doesn't that just make nu metal a heavier version of grunge?
Some notable nu metal bands include Korn (the genre's pioneers), Slipknot (although they do not use a specific label and let people come up with whatever they want), P.O.D., Sevendust, Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach, the early works of both Evanescence and Deftones, and more.

"rEaL" metalhead: Ugh...you disgust me. You think nu metal is the best thing that happened in the whole wide world? Blasphemy!
Nu metalhead: Yeah...right. Once you get a taste of Limp Bizkit, you'll-
Their neighbor, angrily throwing the door open while wearing their nightgown: IT IS THREE IN THE MORNING. SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Get the nu metalmug. Steve Harvey: "When you were a kid, name something you used as a partner to practice kissing."
Jeff presses the button first, causing the buzzers to go off
Steve Harvey: "Jeff?"
Jeff: "Sister."
The audience begins laughing and clapping. This seems like a perfect time to play Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd, right? Yes, I know they're not actually from Alabama and that they're from Jacksonville, Florida...
After some time, conversing with Jeff, Steve faces towards the board.
Steve Harvey: "His sister!"
Although Steve broke down into laughter saying "sister," the board knew what he meant and proceeded to pull number 5's top answer as "SIBLING." And the crowd goes wild!

Get the Sweet Home Alabamamug. Good Charlotte sparks so much arguments on whether they are punk or not, and whether them saying they are punk is satirical or not, good LORD just look at the definitions attacking them (as said by someone who hasn't even listened to GC)...
PS: Benji Madden apparently appeared on a Tonight Alive song that you can only listen to through Vimeo. Hmm.

Get the Kris Get The Bananamug. Apparently a thing that just appears on Urban Dictionary.
What does it mean? Does it involve getting high? Is it something ironic? Is it just for goth poseurs? You will never know.
