Nu Metal

Nu Metal is an electrifying fusion of heavy metal and diverse musical influences, emerging in the late 1990s. Characterized by its aggressive riffs, hip-hop rhythms, and often introspective or angst-driven lyrics, it incorporates elements from genres like funk, grunge, and rap. Bands like Korn and Limp Bizkit propelled Nu Metal into the mainstream, blending turntables, downtuned guitars, and experimental sounds to create a raw, energetic experience that resonated with a generation.
