Nu-Metal (also called neo-metal, aggro-rock) is a subgenre of heavy metal. It evolved from alternative metal and eventually became it's own subgenre in the mid to late 90s. It includes many artists such as Korn, Slipknot and Disturbed in their first work, The Sickness (although, David Draiman has stated in an interview he felt it sounded more like reggae metal, similar to Skindred.) and lesser known bands such as Coal Chamber, Flaw and Sevendust. The genre itself receives unwarranted and unneeded bashing and criticism from say, thrashers and brutal death metalers, and then again from whiny teen fags that listen to one direction or whatever. They seem to forget that these artists were pioneers that came up with a new musical genre. What have your artists done? Recreated something done how many times? Nu-Metal is an excellent example of vocal and instrumental talent (excluding fred durst. He has no perceivable talent of which to speak, coming from a true nu-metal fan.) Its quite fun to listen to and it doesn't deserve the bashing and wrinkling of noses whenever its name is mentioned. I can guarantee that when you were you an angsty teen, you had a korn poster in your bedroom, or a copy of the slipknot debut in your room. The whole musical world respect Korn For ushering in a completely new genre, me personally, I think that that's worth something.

A person with interests that were classically considered 'weird' or 'niche' by most people in the past decades but are becoming increasingly mainstream, such as games, anime, manga, board games, comics and cosplay.
A nu-normie exhibits most of the personality traits of a regular normie, such as conformism / herd mentality, blandness of character, mediocrity, etc. The main difference that justifies the usage of the term as opposed to that of a regular normie is the outlet they use to express themselves. Instead of conforming to classical stereotypes they attempt to conform to the ever-expanding otaku / gamer culture by using their 'interests' and 'hobbies' as a staple of feigned originality and as a means to appeal to the otaku / gamer demographic, with the end goal of becoming more popular and establishing social connections. The process isn't always conscious.
The games / anime / comics etc. they enjoy are based off of common trends and not off their personal subjective enjoyment of the specified media. The typical behavior of a nu-normie includes sharing posts connected to popular memes on social media, listening to hipster genres like vaporwave, praising Filthy Frank / Joji as 'the God of the Internet', playing MOBAs and spending hundreds of dollars on merchandise at conventions. They also exhibit at least average social skills, something in clear defiance of the classical 'nerd' stereotype that used to be associated with the aforementioned otaku culture until recently.

A: Gee, look at Sarah! She's been getting so much attention from all these weebs at the conventions she goes to, all because of her obscene cosplays! Wish I were as good as her at cosplay T_T
B: You're such a nu-normie sometimes...
John has been trying to pick up girls at comic-con for the last 5 years, to no avail. He's trying to impress them with his cool Rorschach merch. He's such a nu-normie.
Oh, dang! A Halloween party? Can't wait to have a drunken orgy while wearing my favorite Avatar: The Last Airbender cosplay. Being a nu-normie has its upsides!

Nu-normies exhibit personality traits often associated with regular normies, such as conformism, blandness, hopping on bandwagons etc. The main distinction between regular normies and nu-normies is the outlet they use to express themselves. Instead of trying to conform to classical stereotypes, nu-normies attempt to fit in within the otaku / gamer culture, with the end goal of becoming more popular. Not necessarily a conscious process. Their interests are based on trends instead of a subjective enjoyment of the media.
Typical nu-normie behaviors include going to Comic-Con, spending hundreds of dollars on merchandise, sharing popular memes on social media, praising Joji / Filthy Frank as 'God of the Internet' and listening to hipster genres like vaprowave. They also tend to have at least average social skills, something in direct defiance to the 'nerd' stereotype which used to be associated with the aforementioned media.

Huh? A Halloween party? Time to get into a drunken orgy while wearing my favorite Avatar: The Last Airbender cosplay. Being a nu-normie is lit!

Whoever thinks they can make a new kind of metal, is wrong, Metal is defined AND ALIVE! Nu metal shouldn't even have the "METAL" tag on it, it's got NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with REAL METAL (ie. Pantera, Sepultura, 80' Metallica, Iron Maiden, Stratovarius, et cetera...!) There's a lot of NEW (I mean NEW, RECENT) True Metal band out there, which are worth intelligent people's attention; examples are: Children of Bodom, God Forbid, Norther, Youthquake, Fprce of Evil, etc.
Out with Nu Metal - it's abou money, true Metal is about music, having a good wine, fucking nice women, fun and having a laugh!
Nu Metal is for depressed teenagers and goth wannabes!

Music invented by crack-snorting wheeler-dealers and bored kids from the suburbs with no musical taste.
Usually involes too many turntables and not a lot of talent.
Also much whining and poserish head-banging is necessary.
