Will someone please tell me what the fek nu-metal is, and what's so different about it from heavy metal?

Given that nu-prog isn't that different from mainstream prog, I'm guessing it's another marketing ploy.

So is there a whole 'nother word for all those bands with the vomit-colored videos, a definitely grungier sound than 70's & 80's metal, and the self-serious attitude?

I thought this was included in nu-metal too, but admittedly I tend to use the word mostly pejoratively.

I don't know....

I'm clearly more out of touch than I thought.

From now on when I buy music I shall walk and poiunt but not refer to it by name for fear of the faux pas which would have all the spotty oiks giggling like girlies, and pointing at grandad.

I shall have to commission modern pap appreciation lessons from my 16 year old niece, so I can at least nod with distain rather than bewilderment when I'm talking about this stuff.

It is to weep.

I think that's emo-core. I could be wrong mind you. I'm not as "with it" as I thought I was.

Given that I barely understood what plain old emo was the last time someone tried to explain it to me, I think I'm just going to give up now.

Dont actually really know what emo is myself. I just read emo-core in somewhere unfathomably hip like teletext or the Sun or somesuch popular youth periodical.
