Funk metal Funk metal  (also known as  thrash funk [6]  or  punk-funk ) [1]  is a fusion genre of  funk rock  and  alternative metal  which infuses  heavy metal music  (often  thrash metal ) with elements of  funk  and  punk rock . It was prevalent in the mainstream during the late 1980s and early 1990s, as part of the alternative metal movement. The genre has been described as a "brief but extremely media-hyped stylistic fad".
