A type of heavy metal music that appeals to lame weak people with no independent thought. Bands like Nickleback, Five finger death punch, and newer Metallica ( post AJFA) would be best described as " sheep metal " . A good way to know if its sheep metal is if your little sister or parents like it . Then more than likely , its sheep metal .
The term was coined by Lips from the band Anvil. While participating in a listening session with CBS' " jam or no jam" , when Metallicas enter sandman was played , it was refered to as " sheep metal " by Lips.

Get the metal girlboss bimbomug. Cool dude, speaking comfortingly to his gloomily-slumped weight-lifting buddy who is feeling inadequate and guilty for "running out of steam" sooner than he thought he should while working out at the gym: "Don't knock yourself around too hard, Pal --- even da great 'Ahhnold' would get metal fatigue from bench-pressing for too long at a time."

Get the metal fatiguemug. A phase usually ment as a choice directed towards one's own sexual partner to pick a cock-cage that is either made of metal or a metal like material, or resin. Usually most associated with petplay, BDSM, or any of it's sub categories.
Person 1: "Which cage do you want on? Resin or Metal?"
Person 2:"I haven't gone with the resin cage in a bit so I guess resin it is"
Person 2:"I haven't gone with the resin cage in a bit so I guess resin it is"

Get the Resin or 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.

Get the nu metalmug. Progressive metal is a generally needlessly complicated and unstructured form of music that often makes minimal sense to the majority of metal fans because it can only be appreciated by people with an IQ over 600.
Progressive metal fans often believe they are superior to any fan of any other genre and will generally reject any piece music that isn't at least 20 minutes long with 40 key changes per minute.
Music in 4/4 is like kryptonite to a progressive metal fan and they must be administered dream theatre riffs as an antidote
An easy way to spot a progressive metal fan is to look for the guy who is pissed off at Opeth for dropping the growls yet goes to their shows anyway and yells for them to play Black Rose Immortal. He will also let everyone know that he's mostly there for the support band, who he has known about for ages.
In short, the math nerd of metal

*At an Opeth show*
Friend: Who's that guy *Points at a guy middle aged guy with long hair, glasses and a dream theatre shirt on stood in the middle of the pit looking like a moody teenager*
Me: Oh that's a progressive metal guy, he actually hates this band because their music is too simple
Friend: So why's he here if he hates them?
Me: Oh it's happening, look at him now
Prog metal guy: I HATE YOU GUYS WHY CAN'T YOU JUST GO BACK TO THE WAY YOU WERE YOU BETTER PLAY BLACK ROSE IMMORTAL RIGHT NOW OR I'M OUT OF HERE.
Friend: Wow
