Neotango and Tango Nuevo are very different.
Neotango derives mostly from the US, at about the year 2000. It is danced to non-tango music, and has completely new steps and embraces, and the lead often rotates around the follower without touching.
To summarise then, what is a very complex movement and genre, Tango-Nuevo has the following characteristics:
Tango Nuevo started as a music form from Piazzolla in the 1950s, then evolved into a dance at about 1990s by Gustavo Naveira and Fabian Salas in Argentina. It also has new steps and embraces but is less experimental than neotango.
I would not say it is better or worse than classical tango, just different. Some people would not touch it (preferring classical) whereas others see it as a natural evolution.
