Also, many people consider grunge to be alternative metal, which is understandable. My favorite grunge band is Soundgarden.

there isn't such thing as alternative metal as i know of?

A few people have said there is no such thing as 'alternative metal', I don't know about that, I hate all the stupid sub-genres we have today.

Back in the 90's some bands like Alice In Chains and Soundgarden were considered 'alternative metal', those bands also received other labels like grunge. I think the term alternative metal actually works pretty well for Soundgarden, especially their Badmotorfinger album.
