Style of music that combine hard lyrics and hardcore guitars, best exponents are Korn and limp bizkit, bands like anema and godsmack, some of the new metal stuff is really good, but some of it take a bunch of whinnie assholes that can't play shit.
A genre of music composing of shitty gothic posers strumming mindlessly at low tuned C# guitars and screaming garbage about death and calling themselves metal.(By covering good metal songs). Defined mostly by the popular (for what it's worth) bands suck ass Bullet for My Valentine, A.F.I., Avenged Sevenfold, and Slipknot. Fanbase consists of emo posers wanting to be called metalheads.
