Nu Metal 

A sub-genre of Heavy Metal and Grunge that was first seen in 1993 with Korns demo "Neidermeyer's Mind". The first band to be offically labeled as Nu Metal was Coal Chamber by a columist in a metal magizine. Traditional metalheads frown upon the genre because the vocals are understandable and the solos arent anoyingly long and boring and the drummers have actuall skill and talent. the genres popularity lasted from 1997 to 2002.

Korn, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot(early work), Crazy Town, Papa Roach, 3rd Strike, Darwins Waiting Room, Lifer, and Twisted Method are all Nu Metal bands.

nu metal 

a term invented by the media to categorize any form of heavy/hardcore/aggressive music that comes from 1990-...
very unpopular with fans of "true" metal from the eighties or "black metal"or anyother kind of music meant for retards who seem to think its hardcore to hate music that sells so instead watch bands stand with their feet planted on stage with their eyes rolled into the back of their head trying to look hardcore
- another "true" form is speed metal which constains high speed drumbeats and alternate picked power chords over monotone "dark" lyrics with a pathetic attempt at singing, but of coarse its considered good because it is not nu-metal
bands such as tool, system of a down, deftones, (which are not metal, they are of far better quality then any metal bands)
are given a hard time by people because of the creation of this false genre regardless of there amazing live performances and unbelievable vocal abilities.

nu metal does not exist, it is horseshit
metal is not original as some claim, the most original and diverse decade of music by far is the 90's enough of this death-hardcore-satanist bullshit coming from these stubborn, whiney, hypocrites

metal sucks listen to music that is unique and creative

Nu Metal 

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!
