I'd say it's more of a label some people give it. Nu-Metal that is.

Nu-Metal is what it's name is, new aged metal, which revolves all around teenage angst kind of lyrics, and simple instruments, but that's not always the case, some would call Mudvayne Nu-Metal but their bassist and drummer are both extremely talented. I don't like to label bands tho. I stay away from that because my tastes flow through all different types of rock.

Alternative is what they call something that hasn't gotten a label yet, basically, it's something that is totally different and innovative, such as the Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails(No one knew Industrial back when NIN started), and The Pixies.

So yeah, hope I answered your question.
