Alternative metal blends heavy metal's aggression with influences from grunge, punk, and experimental rock, emerging in the 1990s as a more diverse approach to metal. The genre features downtuned guitars, unconventional song structures, and often incorporates hip-hop, industrial, or atmospheric elements. It attracted audiences seeking metal's intensity without traditional genre constraints.
