The product of Roadrunner Records, MTV, and post-grunge. It involves teenage angst-based lyrics, simple downtuned guitars, and gimmicks to distract from the deficiencies of the music.

Papa Roach, Mudvayne, Slipknot, etc

The Nu Metal label is slapped onto almost every band that was created after the late '90's or any metal band that becomes mainstream. Many people say nu metal isn't real metal and that it's shit. Well guess what? By many people's definition, Metallica is nu metal. They're probably the most heard of and mainstream metal band in the world. I'm pretty sure Metallica isn't shit, both metal heads and nu metal fans can agree on that. Metallica is one of the best metal bands. A lot of nu metal is good. Just because something is mainstream means it's bad. Get over yourselves.

Slipknot, KORN, Disturbed, etc. are all considered "nu metal" By many people's definitions, Metallica is nu metal. And since many people are saying nu metal sucks, they're saying Metallica sucks, which they certainly do not.

Metal with lyrics you can actually understand.

"Hardcore" Metal- "RAHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHH UHHHHH YEEEEEEAH!!!" Nu Metal- Not screaming at you.

By someguy42000

A form of heavy metal. There are many people on this site that says it's the, "light beer" of metal. Have you even listened to any of slipknot? Most of your taste in metal can hardly be called music. Bands of nu metal actually have something you can enjoy listening to. If you still think it's wimpish, listen to people=shit by slipknot. Then tell me that nu metal is for pussies. Because honestly, you don't know metal.

Slipknot is a great band. All of the extreme metal bands are shit, it's just a riff of electric guitar and a random scream every now and then. Nu metal is the only thing that people with a shred of insanity can enjoy out of the metal genre
