"Alternative Metal" is a name used to lump together several categories of what I simply refer to as false Metal. Their sound is derived from watered-down forms of Punk and Hardcore, and it basically serves as an extension of the late 90s nu-"metal", itself which was basically an extension of the early 90s Alternative Rock/Grunge scene.

Thrash Metal is a blend of Heavy Metal and Hardcore Punk - many fans refuse to admit this, but D-Beat Hardcore played just as much a role in the formation of Thrash as Heavy Metal did. However, what separated Thrash from the early Metalcore bands (now commonly called Crossover in order to differentiate it from the so-called Metalcore of present day) was that Thrash tended to be a bit more seamless, whereas the Metalcore/crossover bands would have segments which were clearly Metal, and segments which were clearly Hardcore Punk.
