A genre of accelerated alternative rock that takes influence from such well known metal acts as Pantera, Metallica Slayer, Anthrax, etc. as well as groove, rap, hip hop or even industrial music. These bands are often lumped in with metalcore bands because they are both mainstream and both utilize playing styles such as using breakdowns.
Nu-metal bands include but are not limited to:
Slipknot(from Iowa not the original Thrash band)
System of a Down
Tool
Distrubed

1)The resulting hybrid of proper old metal bands and contempory talentless losers. The ability to sing or play instruments well is not considered to be an important issue, so long as the frontman (usually a man) can scream loudly and wear halloween masks on stage (most likey as they are ashamed to show their faces because they know their 'music' stinks). The bands themselves are also aware that they lack lyrical talent, and so scream inaudiable words in the hope that no one actually hears their pretentious ramblings regarding suicide and hating the world.
2)Such bands tend to attract an array of 'rebellious' youth, aging between 8 and 15. However, Nu Metal can also be listened to by older people, who sadly failed to outgrow it. Nu Metal tends to be a phase in a person's life that will come to an abrupt end, when it is discovered that ones parents are no longer shocked by its irratingly pretentious content, and/or it is no longer considered 'cool' amongst ones peers.

NU METAL KID: "this is fucking great innit!"
ME: "no"...*pulls out revolver*... BANG!

Years from now, people will look back and smile in fond recollection of the nu-metal songs they used to sing in the playground when they were five years old.
Mummy, I can't sleep without my Linkin Park CD playing. Where's my teddy bear gone? Where's Chester? Mummy..?

1) nu-metal is an aggressive and raw subculture of metal which generally fuses influences from grunge, hip-hop, alt-rock, and electronic sounds usually with thrash and groove metal.
2) A name used by intolerant and ignorant fucktards who feel the need to slap labels on music in order to descriminate against things they don't like. Usually done by metal n00bs, pretenders and tryhards.
3) A kind of metal with lots of variety, all bands in the genre suffering from the bad reputation of few of them.
Slipknot, Korn, Limp Bizkit and Disturbed (as well as others) are often called so.

dude2: "Yeah, Nu-Metal can be like that."
2) metalhead: "Man, I love Mudvayne, Pantera, Slipknot and Metallica."
cockfag: "lolzors. wtf wrong wit yo n00b? Slipknot iz totaly Nu-Metal. You r stoopid and ghey."

Much to the dismay of "old" metal fans, this "nu metal" is much accepted by todays culture. Old bands such as Pantera and Slayer had great musical talent, however today's listeners are typically more interested in the cross over of rap with the old sounds of metal. Nu Metal also includes more of an emphasis on the lower chords rather than the high pitched, more complexed chords played by the "original" metal bands. Nu metal music is also are accompanied by yelling and shrill screams, which in most cases should be deemed pointless. Regardless of wether or not you want to consider it "true" metal, this new genre IS here to stay... go, bitch and moan in your closet.
One last thing, you are all going to die while this genreation of music will live on until a next comes along. So why don't all you "haters" go, put on your Slayer albums and cry about how bad your life has become because of nu metal. waaaaah
