Wiki
Nu metal’s orgins are in the 90s in Southern California, from bands such as Deftones and KoЯn. Other main artists are Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park and Disturbed.
Nu metal is controversial among the fans of more established metal genres, who often consider the hip hop influence negative, as well as the mainstream popularity of several bands. A very commonly held opinion by traditional metal musicians, like Zakk Wylde, was that nu metal bands did not do solos primarily because of their inabilities to execute complex and intricate scales. This is typical of nu metal bands in that guitar solos are rare in nu metal songs in general.

Nu Metal... Listen to these albums: KoRn by KoRn, Adrenaline by Deftones, Coal Chamber by Coal Chamber, Life Is Peachy by KoRn, Get Some by Snot, System of a Down by System of a Down, SlipKnot by SlipKnot, Broke by (hed) Pe, LD 50 by Mudvayne... In That order, then listen to Strait up by Snot, and you'll know Nu Metal, stripped down bass heavy, Sped up, and Influenced by Rap and Metal, I could explain everything about this genre...

I would assume nu metal is hip hop based metal (in terms of beats, bass, rhythm etc) that includes singing as well as rapping. Some of the bands listed here definitely don't fit that description, I suppose they could be considered hard rock or something. I'm not overly concerned with genre labelling anyway, I just listen to what I think sounds good. Whatever nu metal is, I like it.

Linkin Park is rock, Slipknot is metal, Korn is hard rock, SOAD is metal, Disturbed is heavy metal and Limp Bizkit is gay. So there shouldn't be a genre called nu-metal.

"Yes they are D: Snd Nu Metal is not true Metal :3" If you're serious, shame on you. There is no "true metal". If there was, there wouldn't be so many sub genres. Don't be foolish, it's not about loyalty. It's about the type of music people like to make or listen to, which happens to end up tagged as some form of "metal". True metal is a myth...like Inuits.
