Nu metal
This irritates me on several levels:

- it uses 'trendy, yoof' spelling, forever the intellectual property of cunts;

- calling it 'Nu metal' makes it sound like music listened to by the Teletubbies;

- it's got fuck all to do with actual metal. It's just rap with electric guitars. On that logic, Brown and co. should probably rebrand themselves as Nu Labour so as not to fall foul of the Trade Descriptions Act on the campaign trail.

Mind you,
if they rebrand themselves as Nu-metal Labour and make all of their candidates speak in rap over some heavy riffing, then the next four weeks might not be as tiresome as I'm expecting then to be.

When someone asks me what nu metal is I tell them:
Imagine someone took all the best aspects of metal, and the best aspects of hip-hop... and then chucked them away, and attempted to make a musical genre by mashing the remaining dregs together.

^^ This
It's as if a godawful metal band and the world's shittiest hip-hop artistes (which is a truly Stygian level of shitness) were each recording an album in separate studios, and someone took all the worst bits from each album that got left on the cutting-room floor and played them together at the same time. About as entertaining as licking fermented tramp skidmarks.
