Nu Metal

A subgenre of metal that erupted in the early 90s after legendary thrash metal band Anthrax did a duet with rappers Public Enemy on their song Bring The Noize. plenty of guys liked this so as a result, many bands like Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, and KoRn were born. it is usually characterized by detuned guitars, pogoing, and extremely fast, whiteboy rapping. their are a few spinoff bands categorized as Nu Metal because it has a bad rap, such as Slipknot and Staind, but they really arent Nu Metal.
one thing to remember-SYSTEM OF A DOWN ARE NOT NU METAL, THEY ARE ALT METAL, LIKE DREAM THEATER WITH LESS SHREDDING AND MORE VOCALS.
Nu Metal is pretty cool, i can't see why it gets such a bad rap.

Metalhead

People that head bang to metal music. (Which does not include Insane Clown Posse) They hate Emos because they basiclly mock our stye whether your goth or just a band t-shirt wearer. Dont take much to get pissed off and can kick peoples ass physically and verbally. Dont need a group to fight someone. Enjoy walking around at night with friends and listening to metal all the time and sharing underground metal bands with friends. Wear band shirts not prepy clothing including American Eagle, Abercrombie and Fitch or Hollister and most Metalheads hate people that wear that shit some wear that though but there not true metalheads because preps are pussys and metalheads are not. Sometimes had long hair intended for head banging. Hate the government in a none hippie way. (influenced by Arch Enemy or rage against the machine) But the most important thing is to be a complete badass.
Jon: Im sick of a the preps getting the chicks

Jon: why?

Dilon: Chicks fuck metalheads

mentalist

Originally a mentalist was an adherent or advocate of a mentalistic school of psychology or psychiatry. Someone who believes that some mental phenomena cannot be explained by physical laws (i.e. telepathy and mind reading).

While a psychic may claim to observe an underlying spiritual reality and report on it, in a process known as a "psychic reading," a mentalist, by contrast, might claim the ability to manipulate that reality in order to create a different manifestation.

The term "mentalist" also refers to "psychic" entertainers whose illusions feature the apparent ability to read minds, foretell the future, and see distant and hidden objects. This branch of magic is referred to as "mentalism".

"Mentalist" has more recently become a tongue-in-cheek insult for when someone is behaving oddly or wackily, thanks to tv series "Alan Partridge" and "The Office".
"Lee Hicks is a mentalist."

"Darren Brown is an amazing mentalist."
