For better or worse, the genre's stylings have entered most current popular music to some degree, and it isn't showing any signs of slowing down. Also note that ([[MST3K Mantra|repeat after me]]) ''[[Tropes Are Not Bad|good Post-grunge does exist]]''. Try to avoid the particularly grating examples.

Some post-grunge bands take more after [[Tool]] and [[Alice in Chains]] than [[Pearl Jam]] or [[Nirvana]], while some like to add a heavier edge to their sound as not to be lumped with their softer post-grunge contemporaries while maintaining their alternative status. Thus, the overlap with [[Alternative Metal]] was inevitable. Note that all or most post-grunge bands fall under the [[Hard Rock]] umbrella (a genre related to alt-metal and [[Heavy Metal]]), but post-grunge bands with similarities to metal aren't necessarily an example of alt-metal. Given their similar pop-leanings, normally when a post-grunge band makes their sound heavier they become [[nu-metal]] rather than pure alt-metal; achieving the sound of alt-metal requires a distinctly guitar-driven, alternative rock approach with less of the aggression and simplicity associated with nu-metal<ref>Also note that post-grunge/alt-metal bands tend to sound very far from the "normal", Guns N' Roses/Bon Jovi-style hard rock described earlier, aside from the odd [[Genre Shift]]</ref>. In other words, Papa Roach, who practiced more standard-fare nu-metal early in their career only to switch to post-grunge later, wouldn't be an example of post-grunge/alt-metal crossover. Post-grunge/alt-metal crossover bands melodically tend to follow more in line with classic grunge, [[Alternative Rock]] and NWOBHM on the mid end of the [[Mohs Scale of Rock and Metal Hardness]].
