Nu metal is one of the key genres of the new wave of American heavy metal. Nu metal became popular in the late 1990s with bands and artists such as Korn, Limp Bizkit, and Kid Rock all releasing albums that sold millions of copies.
MTV states that the early nu metal group Korn "arrived in 1993 into the burgeoning alternative metal scene, which would morph into nü-metal the way college rock became alternative rock." Stereogum has similarly claimed that nu metal was a "weird outgrowth of the Lollapalooza-era alt-metal scene".
While some nu metal bands, such as Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park have rapping in their music, other nu metal bands, such as Godsmack and Staind, do not. Nu metal bands occasionally feature hip hop musicians as guests in their songs; Korn's song "Children of the Korn" features the rapper Ice Cube, who performed on the band's 1998 Family Values Tour.
Nu metal's popularity continued during the early 2000s, with bands such as Papa Roach, Staind, and P.O.D.
Linkin Park collaborated with hip hop musician Jay Z on their 2004 extended play Collision Course.
Artists like Grimes, Poppy and Rina Sawayama would integrate nu-metal sounds into electronic pop music in the late 2010s and early 2020s. Nu metal received criticism from many fans of heavy metal and nu-metal was often labeled with pejorative words like "mallcore".
