A label commonly given by elitists to bands that define themselves as a metal subgenre they believe is the catalyst of the downfall of heavy metal.
Elitists, or bullies who diss a band they don't like by using the term, can label metalcore (ex: Attack Attack!, Bring Me the Horizon), glam metal (Kiss, Mötley Crüe), nu metal (Korn, the early works of Deftones), alternative metal (the current works of Deftones, Egypt Central), and some hard rock bands—even though they tend to get mislabeled as that—as fake metal.
It's gotten to a point where people have even tried to say that the only true genre is the one that came from psychedelic, acid, and blues rock, common example for that being Black Sabbath, who also paved the way for doom metal by merging metal with classical and more blues (props to them), and that all these subgenres (thrash for example) are just profit-driven fucks. I think.
Regardless, it's a commonly used term, and there may be a holy war ongoing.
I'm trying to be as neutral as I can for defining this label, so I do apologize if any bias appears.

Elitist: Nu metal is not real metal, you've been brainwashed by the fucking fake metal! Go listen to Carcass, Death, or even Nile!
"Fake" Metalhead: All that stuff is way too amazingly talented for me. I think I'm gonna go listen to Slipknot now.
Me: Who the hell are these people?!
My friend: Welcome to today's society…also known as the fifth circle of Hell.
Me: I'm just gonna…walk away…and listen to whatever the hell I have in my library…
So I did. And the elitist and the metalhead continued arguing. Christ.

Get the Fake metal mug."Son, I share your windward dreams to soar from this little town, of shacked up windows and swinging doors..."

Get the Hands Like Houses mug.
An alternative rock band from the '90s. Like the Smashing Pumpkins, except much more short-lived (and fronted by a woman known as Anne Preven).
Their song "Torn" was covered by multiple artists, including Danish singer Lis Sørensen, American-Norwegian singer
Trine Rein, and Natalie Imbruglia (the latter of whom became famous for that specific cover).
There are misconceptions that Torn was written by Natalie in the first place: which is not true. Sure, the earliest cover of Torn was done by Lis, but Preven, Scott Cutler, and Phil Thornalley originally wrote Torn back in '91 as a solo song for Preven.
Finally, in 2014, Australian post-hardcore band Hands Like Houses covered "Torn" as part of the second Punk Goes '90s compilation album by Fearless Records.

Get the Ednaswap mug.1). A kickass metalcore band that made Attack Attack! look obsolete...as someone here put it, although both are from the same era.
2). The novel the band got their name from.

1). No one gives a shit about Attack Attack!. It's all about Of Mice & Men, bitches!
2). Did you read Of Mice & Men?

Get the Of Mice & Men mug.As the name implies, it is music that has no sense of where it's going with creative and/or expression, often times being filled with just riffs.
Technical death metal is given a bad image due to how the majority of the bands often make riff salads. I mean, tech-death does rely on complexity...
