What's on your mug?

a type of music that when mentionned compels any moronic metalhead to spew forth mind-numbing nonsense about why his music is better, whining in the manner of an 84-year old man about the "good old days" and generally boring everyone to death. It regroups music from groups like Korn, System of a Down, Slipknot, Linkin Park.

Some guy: I really like this new song by system. Metalhead: Fuck you you corporate sellout. Nu metal sucks, it's weak and repetitive and makes you rebel against your parents instead of the establishment you whiny little fuck! Some guy: What's the last rebellious thing YOU did? Go to a Salyer concert? Some rebel you are... Metalhead: ... I cheated on my taxes once.

The biggest musical perversion ever to crawl out of some executive's arse since boy bands. Nu metal takes the single best genre of music ever created and turns it into repetitive, shallow, unromantic drivel. Examples of Nu metal bands: Korn, Slipknot, Disturbed, Linkin Park, Limp Dipshit, etc. People should try listening to REAL metal, like.. Queensryche, Symphony X, Iron Maiden, Dream Theater, Opeth, In Flames, Iced Earth.. There are too many to list.

Nu Metal is to Metal as Pop-Punk is to Punk Rock.

By do I have to put something here?

Bands influenced by MTV, rap, and all that cal. pretending about fans, but money allways attract them. 1)Tends to sell themselves out in a deragory term they are label whores. 2)Tends to write idiotic lyrichs about pain, parents hating them, and tends to use the word numb, pain, satan, ridicule (or thousands of different mocking words)or other issues they allways use. 3)Tends to go soft after a period, and if someone dont like it they blame it on a emotional release. 4)pretending they are heavy by screaming in the worst timing ever and stuff and tuning they're guitar very low. 5) pretending they are the new wave of heavy metal. 6)Probably been issued a "Nu metal the guide to riches " by theyre producers. 7) study KoRn, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park.

Boy: Heard the new Slipknot song dude? Man: why bother? boy: It is so heavy, I think you will like it since you listen to Slayer and stuff........ Man: Pffffft buzz off!!! Little cockroach. Boy: you mocked me I have to go to the bathroom and slit my wrist. Man: have a nice day (idiot)

A genre started by Korn in the late 80's/early 90's, given a horrible reputation by some of the worst bands EVER (Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park). Often mixes in elements of hip-hop or other genres which can either sound great (Korn, Mudvayne) or OH MY GOD I WANT TO STAB MYSELF IN THE EARS (Limp Bizkit, ICP). Most nu-metal is closer to hard rock than nu-metal. So to all the anti-mainstream idiots who like to compare every single band in existence to iron Maiden who say that all nu-metal sucks, check out Disturbed, Mudvayne, Deftones, or Slipknots new CD. And to all the people who say that Slipknot and Disturbed are 10 times better than Iron Maiden and Metallica: SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU TWATS. If it wasn't for Metallica, Joey Jordison wouldn't be drumming right now, so shut the fuck up and enjoy all music.

In short, judge a band by it's quality, not it's genre. Nu metal can be good, or it can be bad.

Nu-metal :a genre of music which combines hip hop and heavy metal. I'm extremely annoyed that people who see them selfves to be "real goths" continualy insult this genre of music saying it is for "posers".I wish to express my disgust with these people as they shoud not insult something just because it is not to thier taste(this is the behavour of a chav!)i listen to nu metal ,heavy metal, punk ,industrail, electronica it should not matter what music you listen to.

Goth:posers listen to nu metal
