Nu-metal, or mallcore, is NOT, I repeat is NOT what metal is now, despite what the pop fans and MTV followers will tell you. Mallcore fans please stop trying to fit in, you're not metalheads.
Metal fans= average guys and girls, have lives, go to metal showa
Mallcore fans= teenie boppers whining about how life sucks

Get the nu-metalmug. 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

Get the Nu-Metalmug. Nu metal is the logical evolution of the metal of the 80's. It is just the classicfication for those groups who couldn't decide between the Backstreet Boys and Metallica so they created a bastardized version of both.
That having been said, nu metal is the logical progression of music, that all those products of the 80's and regressionists out their like to scapegoat because, let's face it, Twisted Sister and Iron Maiden went the way of the dodo and they're still pissed. Here's a newsflash: Alice is gone and Slipknot is here. I don't care if you like it, but deal with it. Go into a dark room, put on your Stryper and leave the people who want to move on with their musical lives alone.
Here's another thought for you, the Eagles fans hated it when Metallica came around. They said it was a perversion of their music. You're just a natural repeat of a needless anger.

Get the nu metalmug. 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..?

Get the nu metalmug. 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.
