It amuses how seriously 'metalheads' seem to still take nu metal. People who say 'listen to real metal' are just so sad its funny. Most metal is in fact shit and a few bands can pull it off. To me nu metal is just basic metal with hardly any solos and I dotn see what is wrong with that. I think the hate of nu metal must just be an American thing as American metalheads seem to have to always appear rock hard!!! In my opinion anybody who disregards a whole genre of music is as mcuh of a poser as those they make fun of for their inclination towards a certain genre. try not to be so insecure and like what you want not what you think you should like to a real metalhead.
'Metalhead'- OMFG this cannibal corpse is so fucking heavy!!! It so technical and the lyrics are awesome!!!So much better than nu metal which is totally fake!!!
'Music fan'-YH DEAD BODIES!!! ROCK ON!!! or not...you sound exactly like those 'poseur metallers' you so hate...

Get the nu metalmug. A catch-all term used by morons to describe new rapcore/metal bands. Such categorization is unnessesary, limiting, and useless. A general rule of thumb: anyone who throws around the term "nu-metal" has almost NFI what they're saying.
Some dumbasses will even go so far as to call bands like Metallica -- pioneers of the 80's metal scene -- nu-metal.

Get the nu-metalmug. a genre of music that people who like metal put all the metal they don't like into so that they make themselves sound cool.

Metalhead: Ew this music isn't very good. I think I shall classify it as nu metal so that my friends don't think I'm a loser because I like metal and this album is metal.

Get the nu metalmug. A target of many stuck-up metal purists who claim the only good music was invented 10-20 years before their time. Seen as illegimate, fake, and popular with mall-core kids. Made it's first debut in early '90s with bands such as Deftones and Korn, then later re-established by newer bands such as System of a Down, Disturbed, Limp Bizkit, etc. Often referred to as "aggro-rock" by offended metal fans who have nothing more to do than insult newer, defining artists in a later and more evolved version of their precious genre.
"Fuckin' kids, go listen to some real metal like Pantera and Meshuggah and such, who will never be able to renew the uniform genre of today's pissy conformists."

Get the nu metalmug. A group of spikey haired, whiney losers who can't seem to reach past the first fret of their guitar.
They seem to be set out to destroy everything that TRUE METAL stands for.

Get the nu-metalmug. Nu-metal is a style of metal invented in the early 90's by a band named KoRn. Ever since then there has been a bunch of poser bands like good chorlot (dunno how to spell), and linkin park who have tried to copy them.
and to all of the people who say all nu-metal bands suck, thats not true. Good nu-metal bands who can actually play, and make good music that you can mosh to are : KoRn, Rage against the machine, tool, slipknot, system of a down and hatebreed. try actually listening to them and u mite change your opinion on labelling them as crap.
Also, i dont only listen to nu-metal. My favourite bands are : KoRn, Metallica (Their early stuff), Pantera, Rage against the machine, hatebreed, black sabbath, AC/DC, tool, system of a down, Rammstein and Aerosmith.

Get the nu-metalmug. One huge reason why today's music is turned rotten to the point of decay.
Weirldly enough, this "music" shares alot of simularies to 70s/80sglam rock and hair metal:
- They are completely mainstream. It takes barely any challenge at all to hit the Billboard. They both use their lack of real talent to
- Annoying vocals. Glam had the ear-spliting torture of yelling and the mediocrity of singing sorrowfully from feminine men while nu metal "artists" do a horrible impression of rapping or use the same method of screaming like their 80s counterpart.
- Lyrics are as deep and complex as a horizontal line. Rather than explaining, listen and find out yourself on how fucking weak the lyrics are- no real meaning, no real work, no real depth; just used to get shitloads of cash and women.
- Completely hated by metal fans so it'll stay far and away from their scene. (Indie Artist for the win!!!)
- They are both fads, FADS. It's just happens that glam was like a nucleur radiation-sensitive bug while nu metal is big, fucking cockroach.
The only contrasts are that:
- Glam/Hair = sex and love; Nu = angst and pity
- Glam/Hair = transvestitial men; Nu = metal noobies and wannabe rappers
- Glam/Hair = making their names to look cute; Nu = misspelling their names in order to look cool

FUCK nu metal and their marketing scheme, why give away money on a highly taled about yet a shitty album so it can be shoved up into the asses of MTV, RIAA and that said nu metal "band"?
