1. New Wave of American Heavy Metal, a musical movement that doesn't actually exist, most supposed NWOAHM bands are actually metalcore, mallcore, emo, hardcore punk or nu metal.

2. New Wave of American Heavy Metal, a description that posers give to the mallcore bands they listen to in order to pretend that they listen to real metal, as opposed to the false metal.
