Any band that does not use solos, whines about their girlfriends, whines about life, wears preppy clothes, raps, uses 2 strings on a 7 string guitar, has a whiney lead singer who cant scream for shit, is only out to please people and not do their own thing. Has no talent because they are corporate made, and thinks crouching up and down while playing is headbanging.
That is my definition of "nu-metal"

i dont really define it anymore, i consider the term extinct nowadays, because it gets meaninglessly applied and thrown around constantly. For example, go look under the "least favorite Opeth song" thread in the Opeth board, someone thinks Bleak is nu-metal. And thats why he hates it. No description of why, just that its nu-metal.

I define it as a type of liquid that is produced when I place my hand in my anus, squeeze my nuts, and fart at the same time

I guess Godsmack, Sevendust, and System Of A Down aren't nu-metal then. I'm happy.
Nu-metal is a term of power. The mere mention of the term strikes fear into the hearts of gr1m, n3cr0, tr00, "haadcooore medallhuds" everywhere. They can't listen to it, no way! It sucks...
I refuse to hate it as a genre. I like and dislike individual bands, not genres as a whole. And everyone should.

As far as my observations go, nu-metal seems to be watered down thrash metal, crossed with either rap or punk. Of course, not all nu-metal bands adhere to this stereotype, System of a Down were, and still are, one of my favourite bands. But still, most nu-metal bands are pure shite.

a term used by people (elitists) who think they are too good to listen to certain music, this music being popular or commericialized, not or no longer "underground"

I know nu-metal when I hear it...even though I can't give it a definition without being too cruel.

To me, what you could call "nu-metal" is a band that appears to be rather new in the music scene, american (haha!), musically simple and "heavy", and lyrically immature, so members have to be young (between 12 and 28). That means that a band playing nu-metal for too long is just... lame? lol
the stereotype of american metal sucking is annoying.
