A sub-genre of metal that most posers will insult in a desperate attempt to sound cool or gain approval, often back-firing and making the aforementioned posers look like a whining child.

Get the nu-metal mug.This music is found in genres such as Glam Rock (Bon Jovi), Glam Metal (KISS, Twisted Sister), Nu metal (Slipknot, Korn), Deathcore (Bring Me The Horizon, As Blood Runs Black), some Metalcore (Attack Attack!, Iwrestledabearonce), Alternative metal (System of a Down, Papa Roach), some Hard Rock (people call AC/DC and Led Zeppelin metal).
Most mainstream metal sucks because of its very watered-down MTV style, which most metalheads dislike strongly.
Idiots, who have no clue what they're saying, call Led Zeppelin or AC/DC metal. This is not true at all. They both have told their fans that they play hard rock, not metal.
Bon Jovi is not metal and never will be. Their style is too love song oriented and they have appeared on shows like American Idol, which totally throws away metal completely no matter who is on that show.
Korn and Slipknot are not even heavy enough to be metal. Their lyrics, image, and singing is too mainstream to be metal. People call Slipknot death metal? Haha! This is a disgrace to true death metal, which was created by amazingly talented bands. That is just pure blasphemy.
Deathcore ruins death metal by invading it with talentless hardcore punk. Don't get any metalhead started on that...

Real metalhead: Go listen to real metal such as Death, Carcass or Nile.
Fake metalhead: All that stuff is way too amazingly talented for me. I think I'm gonna go listen to Slipknot now.

Get the Heavy metal mug.The down-tuned nu metal sound is simply absurd. The strings are down so low they are virtually hanging off the neck, leaving a woolly, indistinct barrage of black noise. QUIT TRYING TO BE SOMEONE. Only kick ass rock like Motley Crue's which the entire Dr. Feelgood set was tuned down to D for added power.
Samples, DJs, scratching, and all that lameness: Please! Is it rock or dance? Aside from the sheer lack of creativity involved in samples, the whole vibe of rock 'n' roll with its jamming and unpredictability is removed in a sea of computer-generated mechanical perfection. And while DJ-ing may be quite a skill (debate that elsewhere), to class DJs as musicians is pretty laughable. Anyway, all that stuff is just nauseating. AND their use of loops is simply down to bad musicianship. Losers.
Stupidity: If you asked me to describe any nu metal band in ten words, intelligent would not be one of them. Not would it be if you gave me 1000 words. This manifests itself in the lyrics, where Durst et al, too dense to think of anything to actually say, simply swear for four minutes in a time in a bid to persuade us that they are hard. It's not working, mate.
Melody vs. rap: One problem with guitars tuned sub-sonically low… no one can sing over them. Besides which, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park and co. couldn't carry, let alone write, a tune to save their lives. So instead they rap, all very well except that rap depends on a) clever lyrics and b) diverse instrumentation. So with the same beat and essentially same feel, structure, and sound to every song, it is fair to say that all nu metal is in fact one song.
Lack of stage presence: It always startles me how much the members of Stain'd have in common with The Thunderbirds in their on stage movements.
Manufactured: Rock & roll is about rebellion. It is about independence, freedom, and attitude. So a band that is controlled, nay, manufactured by the record company is surely against the spirit of rock & roll. Indeed, it is not unfair to point out that manufactured rock & roll is an oxymoron -- a CONTRADICTION IN TERMS. In other words, these complete idiots posing as rock & rollers are puppets to the industry, simply a cynical, money-making scam which the record companies create and we are supposed to follow like sheep. Then MTV play them relentlessly, selecting the bands that suit the MTV, politically-correct, plastic and unthreatening (to them) way, at the same time rejecting other artists putting out quality product… the record companies and MTV work together to tell you what to listen to. Are you going to let them do that?
FIBI (For Idiots By Idiots): No real comment necessary here (but here's one anyway) ever noticed the lame audiences nu metal attracts? And the way they dress
