1. It is new not nu
2. Put some drop C in that shit.
3. Pantera>all
4. I love all types music. With the exception of rap (garbo) country (not my thing) Mainstream pop(gtfo Justin Bieber, Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, ect ect.)

5. Electronic music and all of the all types of it eg: hardtrance, rave, trance, acid, ect are the shit. I feel it is far better than any type of music that all of the "cool kids" listen too.

1. Actually it is Nu-metal look it up anywhere.
2. Drop C?? You mean D?
3. I agree

As for what is Nu-metal it is a fusion genre which combines elements of thrash metal, grunge, hip hop and funk. Bands associated with nu metal derive influence from a variety of diverse styles, including electronica,funk,glam rock, gothic rock, grunge, hardcore punk, hip hop, industrial rock, jazz and post punk. The lyrics of many nu metal bands focus on pain and personal alienation rather than traditional heavy metal themes. Nu metal music is mostly syncopated and based on riffs. Its lack of guitar solos and virtuousity contrasts it with other metal subgenres. Another way in which nu metal is contrasted with other metal subgenres is its emphasis on rhythm. Similarities with other heavy metal subgenres include its use of common time, distorted guitars, power chords and note structures primarily revolving around Dorian, Aeolian or Phrygian modes.

I think its ok, When i look on my ipod they classify songs that dont seem like metal metal, Lamb Of God on my Ipod is classified as NU-Metal.

I've never even considered Linkin Park as metal in any way. There's big differences between "NU Metal" like Linkin Park and bands like It Dies Today which play Metalcore music.

Does Seether count as NU metal, because they are my favorite band.

Seether is seen more as post-grunge/alt metal.

I'm going to have to disagree. There's a humongous difference between Nu Metal, Heavy Metal, and Black Metal. The harmonious quality of the sound itself plays a big part in this.

You didn't understand my point at all. My point is if you listen to "Black Metal" and can't stand "Nu Metal" then shut the fuck up and don't listen to it. Then jam your ass off to what you enjoy.

Its because its a sub genre. Anyone who likes a certain kind of music really hates when their type of music is categorized into a new different form of art. They feel like its infringing on what they loved to listen to and don't want things to change.

Personally, I like metal, but not too much metal, or my head hurts. So nu-metal is just right...not too much metal, not too much rap, not too much pop. Just right.

So we have the anwer. nu-metal is for sissies. HEAVY METAL is for people that likes theyr music loud.

I love Heavy Metal but I still like System of a Down. I think there were the first nu-metal band.
