Nu-metal; use of turntables, industrial music, lyrics are rapped more often, guitar playing is more rhythmic based with an absent lead part, bass plays mostly root notes.... pretty much what I see in nu-metal.
Now to hear the true metalhead's definition; ****ing bull**** generic mainstreaming scene crap. No solos? **** THAT! Slayer FTW!!!!
System of a Down's earlier material I'd consider nu-metal.
And no, I don't like them. Used to, but I guess I just grew out of it. Serj's voice annoys me to no end, though.
