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 Kris Get The Bananamug. 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 Good Charlottemug. 1). A kickass metalcore band that made Attack Attack! look obsolete...as someone here put it, although both are from the same era.
2). The novel the band got their name from.

1). No one gives a shit about Attack Attack!. It's all about Of Mice & Men, bitches!
2). Did you read Of Mice & Men?

Get the bite memug. 1. Home of Sauron.
2. Perhaps the most suppressive black metal band possible. You can't post their lyrics, you can't post tabs of their songs, they don't like fan content. Why? Probably because of some theistic Satanist shit. Their music is heavy, though.

1). "Ah, Gorgoroth. When have I ever known Sauron was here?"
2). ...okay, why are there Norwegian lawyers at my door? All I did was make a UD definition on Gorgoroth.

As a die-hard Eddie Van Halen fan, I can confirm that Bradley Hall's "Van Halen in a Nutshell" video is accurate.
