Get the nu metal mug.CORPORATE BULLSHIT!!! Just a bunch of talentless mother fuckers with an ambition to be "cool" and "different" but all you nu-metal faggots are all the same and no matter how good your life is you always seem to find something to whine about just like your precious linkin park or chevelle! To me nu-metal has got the same reputation as.....dare i say.....Good Charlotte or New found glory except faggy punk bands like these dont need to drop tune their guitars to play an easy power chord. nu-metal, punk, and pop bands along with the fans should fuck off and die! oh im sorry they already want to do that because their babysitter wouldn't give them a cookie. And i am sorry to say metallica is on their way as well.
sorry metallica st.anger sucks dick!
sorry metallica st.anger sucks dick!

Get the nu-metal mug.1. The movement in music characterized by:
a. Chromatic-scale guitar riffs
b. Cacophonic sound effects and guitar
c. Unusually low-tuned guitars
d. often a "singing" style with an emphasis not on melody, but on emotion (i.e. screaming, crying, etc) - often no "real singing" exists in the music
e. Focuses on the darker things in life
2. A derogatory term for any new music (Not necessarily metal - Linkin Park and Nickelback are *rock* bands, not metal) that is both popular and is not in ones personal taste and therefore "sucks."
3. A form of metal started in the eighties but remained underground while bands like Metallica and Anthrax dominated the popular metal scene. Then in the nineties bands like Korn and Limp Biscuit became popular and the music was labeled "nu metal."
4. Often an amalgamation of several styles of music, but dominated by metal. The most frequent style incorporated is rap.

Get the Nu Metal mug.A classification used for a wide range of alternative rock acts, some of which have metal roots, some of which have rap elements, and some of which are really hard rock. This term was used by the media to define these acts back when they first started coming out after the alternative craze so they could be classified in the same genre, even though they don't really sound much alike. In reality, there is no such genre as nu metal, as every band that could be said to be in this genre really belongs to another. For example, Linkin Park is rap metal or rapcore (and really their latest stuff is just rock) while Disturbed is more Alternative Metal.
Metalheads will often complain about how much nu metal sucks but they really shouldn't because there is no such genre. Better stick to hating individual bands.

Get the nu metal mug.Okay, here is the deal with nu-metal: it is a new genre of rock/metal. When you think about it, what is new about it? There have been plenty of people making metal and rock since the 80's. Most metal and rock has been built off of that.
Most bands marketed as nu-metal aren't really true heavy metal anyway.

Look at me...I'm cool because I listen to nu-metal.
Shut the fuck up and listen to some real shit, like Children of Bodom.

Get the nu-metal mug.Talentless tripe created 10 years ago by record companies to replace the absence of real metal from the mainstream. Usual audience: angst-ridden teens who watch MTV religiously, or corporate slaves jumping on the next trend.
