nu metal

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.

nu metalhead

A normal term for someone who likes nu metal to whatever kind of extent.
Types of nu metalheads:
1). The basic: "Y'all...this new Korn CD goes fuckin' hard..."
2). The slightly extra extreme fan: "Hell yeah! New Slipknot shit!"
3). The crack baby: (at Woodstock '99) "LIMP BIZKIT! LIMP BIZKIT! LIMP BIZKIT! LIMP BIZKIT!" {notices woman on-stage} "SHOW YOUR TITS!"
4). The opposer (not really a nu metalhead but whatever lmao): "uuUGghHhh...FUCK Fred Durst and his faggoty ass rapping! I'd rather shove my cock into a blender than listen to that dogshit!"
5). The enjoyer: "Hey, this is really good! I wonder if they have more songs..."

Craig: "New Korn CD dropped...I'm out for that shit."
Rosanna: "New Korn CD?!"
Brady: *impatiently waiting for Rosanna to show her breasts*
Paul: No, GO FUCK RIGHT OFF WITH THAT POP ROCK DOGSHIT.
Tyler: Shut up, Paul. If it's good, it's good.

In order, Craig is an ordinary nu metalhead, Rosanna is slightly more hardcore, Brady is the crack baby from Woodstock '99, Paul is the opposer (or elitist, fuck knows), and Tyler is just an enjoyer who doesn't give a single shit about what's playing.
