Get the Metal shademug. A musically watered down style of metal that's meant to be as inoffensive and possible and appeal to the widest demographic possible. Also commonly overlaps with octanecore.
"Old school" butt metal is basically mediocre groove metal/NWOAHM, it can also surprisingly overlap with (melodic) extreme metal, for example FFDP, Damageplan and the album Trust No One by DevilDriver
"New school" butt metal is typically inoffensive, easily digestible metalcore, for example Bad Omens, I Prevail, Spiritbox, new Of Mice & Men, new Architects and most legacy metalcore acts trying to be relevant nowadays (Atreyu)

"Dude, that's some shitty ass butt metal. Do you actually listen to Damageplan?"
"Shut up, you listen to Spiritbox and I Prevail. We're not so different"

Get the butt metalmug. Oh, boy. People will hate me for this. How joyous.
Nu metal is a subgenre of metal which takes influences from that and blends it with elements of other music genres such as hip hop, funk, industrial, and grunge.
Vocalists use various techniques including clean singing, rapping, screaming, and growls.
Guitarists (and/or bassists) will drop-tune their instrument in effort to produce a heavier sound, although some guitarists, like James Shaffer of Korn, will use seven-string guitars to either mod the sound and/or expand the range. This may be the part grunge kicks in, since grunge takes influence from sludge metal, which takes influence from doom metal...you get the point.
Drummers will mostly use two kick drums, although using a twin pedal is okay.
Some nu metal bands often bring in electronic sound into the music; often using drum machines, samplers, synthesizers, programming, etc.
Lyrics are often focused around personal issues, like drug addictions, depression, neglect, alienation, etc etc. Wait, doesn't that just make nu metal a heavier version of grunge?
Some notable nu metal bands include Korn (the genre's pioneers), Slipknot (although they do not use a specific label and let people come up with whatever they want), P.O.D., Sevendust, Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach, the early works of both Evanescence and Deftones, and more.

"rEaL" metalhead: Ugh...you disgust me. You think nu metal is the best thing that happened in the whole wide world? Blasphemy!
Nu metalhead: Yeah...right. Once you get a taste of Limp Bizkit, you'll-
Their neighbor, angrily throwing the door open while wearing their nightgown: IT IS THREE IN THE MORNING. SHUT THE FUCK UP.
