Get the Numug. 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.
