The terms are related, but Alternative Metal is a little more broad. It's also a more respected name than Nu Metal, and I would imagine some fans of System of a Down and others might even be insulted by the tag Nu Metal. I think calling it Alternative Metal/Nu Metal or just plain Alternative Metal would be best. Thoughts?

Agree. Even though as I understand them I don't see much connection between alternative and nu, I feel that sometimes they're lumped together, or that nu-metal is seen somehow as a part of the whole alternative metal thing, whatever that means in the end.
Nu metal really is a swear word to many people, I think it could be included within Alternative metal pretty painlessly. How do other metal sites use those genres? The problem for me, as I said in the AiC thread, is that even though I use the term "alternative metal" and have a sort of an abstract picture of it in my head, I have no idea how to define its limits.
