Nu metalNu metal, also spelled nu-metal or nü metal, was primarily a collection of bands that mixed various other genres with heavy rock music, including but not limited to hip-hop, industrial and funk. The earlier bands, such as Korn were inspired by artists such as Faith No More, Primus, and Helmet, and genres such as funk metal, rapcore and industrial rock. In its usual form, it takes rhythmic elements from hip-hop/industrial metal and distorted guitars from metal/post-hardcore, combined with clean or screamed/shouted vocals, (rap is also sometimes used but not as often). Nu metal also sometimes employs turntables.
