Nu-Metal

This is NOT a subgenre of metal/heavy metal. Its a subgenre of alternative metal (an "umbrella" term to be honest).

Nu-metal evolved from hard rock and hardcore punk, NOT from metal, but gained influence from metal (hence the name).

Nu-metal is NOT "boybands of metal" because it is NOT metal. Many metalheads hate the genre because it rips off metal, but it does not, as it is NOT metal, it is a different genre altogether.

Nu-Metal is diverse. Pioneering artists such as Korn, Slipknot, Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit do not all sound the same. Many bands appearing from the hard rock/post grunge movement adopted a nu-metal edge (e.g. disturbed, drowning pool) due to influences from the genre.
UD entries such as Nu-Metal: "shite" are not actually definitions, they are opinions from disrespectful people.

Course its hot its a metal

A favourite catchphrase from everyones favourite spaz The Bo
it is used to point out something blatantly obvious after someone has made a mistake, much simmilar to saying mind your head after someone bangs there head.

this paticular line originated when The Bo pointed out that metal gets hot when heated after someone burnt there hand on an iron bar that had just been in a furnace

this phrase is used in multiple situations,example such as course its not sharp its a football and course its cold, it ice
person 1#Shit! thats hot
Bo# Course its hot its a metal

Heavy Metal

Contrary to mostly every-other definition of heavy metal here, it is a form of music, mainly instrumental; characterized by polyphonic, loud, skillful sounds. It is the most similar music in terms of composition to classical music. Also contrary to popular belief heavy metal is older than classic rock, and is still very much alive today
Guy 1: Hey I was in AP music today and we were discussing Vivaldi.
Guy 2: Cool, you know if you like Vivaldi you should check out Baroque Skins.
Guy 1: Sure what kind of band are they?
Guy 2: heavy Metal

Extreme Doom Metal

Ridiculously drop-tuned guitars combined with insanely heavy speed-drumming and grisly bass-baritone death screams about the impending apocalypse.
"Satan's Deathfuck Cometh".

Extreme Doom Metal at it's finest.

Scarf Metal

A genre of modern 'rock' music. Bands such as Bloc Party, The Killers and Keane are good examples. The name comes from the fan base who are primarily middle-class students who wear scarves and converse shoes and listen to that crap on their ipods.
watch MTV2 (UK) for examples.
Oh dear....not another one of those scarf metal losers on MTV2.

You look like a scarf-metaller in that scarf and those shoes.
