Nu Metal is hard rock/metal combined with rap and sometimes some hip hop influences
Some famous Nu Metal bands were KoRn and Limb Biscuit , some people also consider slipknot to be nu metal, even though the band itself disagrees
Nu Metal was most famous in the 90s and early 00s it has since then lost popularity and album sales have plummeted. KoRn still had a relative success with their last album but it wasn't half as successful as their earlier ones.

Well, 1st of all, nu metal is dead. Its heyday were the 90s. The music itself was heavy & often w/ a rap influence thrown in. Think of bands like Korn. Lyrically, the subject matter was more reality-based as opposed to the "swords, demons & sorcery" of the 80s.
