Get the Nu-Metal mug.A very good form of music that can be considered a cross between death metal and alternative metal. includes bands such as: slipknot, system of a down, mudvayne, korn, and disturbed.
many people fell that nu-metal is a crappy sold-out form of death metal.
*smacks all the bitches that feel this way*
just cuz lots of the nu-metal bands are rich doesnt mean that they are sellouts. YOU DONT GET RICH IF YOU DONT HAVE TALENT.
unless you're 50 cent. but thats another topic.
nu-metal might not have the best lyrics or instrumentals, but it is still one of the best forms of music out there.

Get the Nu-Metal mug.It's time to set some things straight about Nu-metal, like what IS nu metal and what is not. First off, Nickelback and Three Doors Down are MUCH more like rock bands, not metal. Granted they suck, but they're not metal in the least, either lyrically or in theme. This is important because calling bands like them "nu-metal" gives nu-metal an even worse name than it already has.
I also notice that a lot of people here are jumping to the defense of System of a Down and I must say I agree. SOAD is the only "nu-metal" band that really stands out in the category. System's songs and lyrics have some cool themes much like early Metallica (no, I'm not saying they sound very much alike but the themes of the songs are similar) unlike the emotionally insecure screaming of Slipknot (they have 4 more members than they need and Cory can't sing for his life), Linkin Park (Chester sounds like he has a vibrator stuck in his larnyx) and of course that poser Fred Durst. SOAD's songs are also quite catchy 99% non-depressing, they'll even make you laugh sometimes. It is for this reason that I find it hard to actually call them nu metal. Maybe Alternative Metal would be better for SOAD. Besides, does their lead singer Serj sound much like your typical screaming nu metal frontman?
Overall, nu metal is like any other musical genre, with good bands and bad ones to match. Good nu metal bands include SOAD, Atreyu, Disturbed, Ill Nino, and some KoRn. Bad ones include poppy bands such as Linkin Park, Slipknot, POD, Limp Bizkit, some KoRn, Puddle of Mudd, and Drowning Pool.

Get the Nu-Metal mug.New genre of metal that sprung up out of the MTV culture in the late 90's. Typically is associated with whiny singers claiming their life sucks with their millions of dollars and slutty groupies. Such nu-metal acts include Limp Bizkit and System of a Down.

Get the nu-metal mug.a genre of music people love to criticize, without realizing that if it wasn't for nu-metal, you'd have nothing left on the radio but shitty emo/punk bands and more hip-hop crap. also dissed by people who think they are cool, trying to sound like they know what they're talking about by saying things like "LISTEN 2 SLAYER 4 TEH REAL METAL!!!1" or "I CAN PLAY TEH GUITAR BETTER THAN SLIPKNOT!!!1" which is just bullshit from teens or old losers who put on an act of musical sophistication. Think before you disrespect nu-metal or you'll make an idiot of yourself like 95% of the people who posted a definition for this word.
