Nu metal is the logical evolution of the metal of the 80's. It is just the classicfication for those groups who couldn't decide between the Backstreet Boys and Metallica so they created a bastardized version of both.
That having been said, nu metal is the logical progression of music, that all those products of the 80's and regressionists out their like to scapegoat because, let's face it, Twisted Sister and Iron Maiden went the way of the dodo and they're still pissed. Here's a newsflash: Alice is gone and Slipknot is here. I don't care if you like it, but deal with it. Go into a dark room, put on your Stryper and leave the people who want to move on with their musical lives alone.
Here's another thought for you, the Eagles fans hated it when Metallica came around. They said it was a perversion of their music. You're just a natural repeat of a needless anger.

To all the turds that go Korn sux, Linkin Park is a bunch of crybabies, STFU!
Korn singer Jon Davis was raped by his neighbor, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park was sexually abused during his childhood, no wonder their songs have emotions in them.
About nu metal lyrics being repetetive, STFU! You all say Metallica is Metal, their St. Anger for instance... have you counted the times he repeats the st. anger shit?
About rap in nu metal... double STFU! I hate rap too, but not rock rap, i hate hip hop the piece of shit rap. Linkin Park MC Mike Shinoda writes the best rap ever, 50 cent is shit, singing about every time he buys something.
" I just bought bottled water,
Yo, drink it, yo!
Yo, drink it, yo!"
That's crap!
But Shinoda writes rap that no crappy metalhead bitch could ever write.
About emotional lyrics again.
Metal isn't just like:
"Whorship satan, dance around fire, rape your sister"
And Linkin Park and Korn writes about real stuff, stuff that happens unlike metalheads about satan, dragons and shit.
About popularity.
It seems like everyone hates nu metal bands for being rich and popular. Ozzy (cough, cough, old-ass shit) is freakin famous and filthy rich... HEY, He MUST be nu metal!!!!
You're all jealous that all those metalheads aren't as popular as nu metal bands.
About nu metal.
I don't think they were all like, let's be nu metal, cuz it's new and shiny!
Korn Hates being labelled as nu metal, Korn didnt say this is nu metal, some corporate bitches made it up!
About rebellion.
The dude who wrote about mallcore and how metal is about rebelling against the system of mall blah blah blah (ghey ass talk). I wanna see you rebel against mall. whadya do?
Moms says: Let's go to mall, rebel bastard.
Rebel bastard: NO!!! ( blows himself up with a modified toaster)
About being all about being popular (whatever).
So maybe some nu metal bands only formed to become famous, but if all the metalheads are just about making music cuz they love to, they would still be in their garages playing their songs. It's not like the forced Ozzy to sell his records.(Agent: Ozzy, become famous!
Ozzy: NO!!! You can't make me!
Agent: Chain him up, we're making him famous
Ozzy: NOO!!! NOOO!)
And Ozzy had a show on MTV! (Metalhead: Ozzy is dead to me!)
About no solos.
Maybe they like music without solos, just cuz they dont have them, doesn't mean they can't write them.
When Linkin Park played "By Myself" live in Texas, they played it with a something like a solo, sure it wasnt like 100 notes a second, but it was great.
I dont like solos myself, cuz they're all so fast and great, not my taste.
About mallcore...
Those kids are freaks, Korn didnt make them like that!
Has any of you seen Korn "Y'all want a single" music video?
I rest my case, and yours too, b*****s!

A bunch of retards shouting at each other and shakin their heads. the genre should be called nu shit. idiots say it is heavy metal but it is just nu shit.

A classification used for a wide range of alternative rock acts, some of which have metal roots, some of which have rap elements, and some of which are really hard rock. This term was used by the media to define these acts back when they first started coming out after the alternative craze so they could be classified in the same genre, even though they don't really sound much alike. In reality, there is no such genre as nu metal, as every band that could be said to be in this genre really belongs to another. For example, Linkin Park is rap metal or rapcore (and really their latest stuff is just rock) while Disturbed is more Alternative Metal.
Metalheads will often complain about how much nu metal sucks but they really shouldn't because there is no such genre. Better stick to hating individual bands.

bands that need at least 25 people to do half as much as great thrash metal bands such as slayer, metallica, megadeth, etc.
nu metal is pathetic, mainly because the highlight of a metal song is the solo and, alas, no solo, because they are commercially owned talentless fuckwads.

A form of music. It combines metal, alternative, hip-hop, and various other things to create what is in large part talentless garbage. With the exceptions of a few decent listenable bands(Deftones, Korn, Chevelle, System of a Down, Slipknot) is pretty much complete shit. 99% of these bands put too much effort into their look, repetitive angsty lyrics that have no substance, talentless dropped-D,Db,C,etc tunings, shit drumming, turntables, rapping, and being accepted with the norm. These bands also have talentless guitar parts which if listened to more than twice could actually destroy nerves in your brain. The few good bands in this genre defy some of the rules of numetal and aviod sounding like everyone else. However others are repetitive, sound like everyone else, and basically can corrupt your soul. The people who listen to it are mainly kids who live life fine yet act pissed off and "relate to" the garbage lyrics of it(which all sound the same and are all about hating people for some stupid reason). They buy chains and clothes from Hot Topic, and aviod true metal at all costs, believing that they are "hardcore" by listening to dumbass Disturbed-like bands. While true metalheads listen to actual talent(Slayer, 80's Metallica possibly including the Black Album and less likely including Load+ReLoad, Megadeth, Anthrax, Testament, Dream Theater, Pantera, all bands with great talent and unique qualities). While some numetal is decent, possibly even good material, it cannot be taken extremely seriously or the evil of the bad numetal might take your innocent life.
