What metal do you listen to?

[Hard Rock]

Never heard the phrase Mallcore, but nu metal is ussually the garbage stuff like slipknot, system of a down, any kind of band like that (think most metal wanna be bands who dont really know how to play their instruments).

Ussually thats the type of metal most true metal fans dont like to be associated with. Although some of the stuff is okay, and theirs the odd good song or band most of it is uter and useless garbage.

As nu here is the common pop-music respelling of new, the term pretty much explains itself—it’s a revitalised form of the heavy metal musical genre of the seventies and eighties, a style of loud, vigorous and often harsh-sounding rock music that was linked to an intense and spectacular performing style. Metal drifted out of fashion in the nineties, though it never went away completely.
The nu-metal format is most closely associated with bands like Korn, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, the Deftones, Amen and Papa Roach, and the genre is often linked to the American music producer Ross Robinson, often called “the guru of nu-metal”. The performing style is still as heavily amplified and intense as ever; nu-metal gigs were described recently by Nicholas Barber in the Independent on Sunday as being “costumed, pyrotechnic riots of blood, sweat and earth-shaking volume”, though he also complained that the lyrics were self-pitying and peevish.

This more or less portrays nu-metal accurately(although black sabbath is really a bad choice of influence, since black sabbath are so much better )
