A gene of music that started with bands like Korn and System of a Down. Then there were new bands that were still nu-metal but they are crap.
Good Bands: Korn, System of a Down, Disturbed. They are good because they have a cool and different sound about them.
Bad: Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Linkin Park They suck because they have emo slash annoying followers or they just suck. cough limpbizkit cough

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.

marco rossi (metal slug)
Marco has blonde choppy hair with a large forelock in front and turquoise eyes (or just black pupils in some artwork). His military gear is a white headband, a white sleeveless shirt, a crimson vest, khaki-green army cargo-pants, and brown paratrooper boots. Usually he wears black wristbands, but some artwork has with black gloves.
Marco's physique is based on that of Sylvester Stallone's titular hero from Rambo III, & his looks bare a strong resemblance to David Bowie.
In addition to this, Marco's hair, headband and uniform appear to be modeled after Snake and Bart from SNK's 1988 arcade beat 'em up Datsugoku: P.O.W.
he does look similar to Charlie Nash from capcom's Street Fighter alpha games
Charlie wears green cargo pants with green boots of the same color and yellow flak vest. He has glasses, which he takes off before a fight, & an exaggerated hairstyle consisting of a large forelock of blond hair. The glasses are not necessary for him to see.
