| 10 | So, let's say you've got two genres that are great on their own, namely {{Funk}} and HeavyMetal. What happens when you put them together? ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Take FunkRock, replace the rock with HeavyMetal, turn up the amps and rock out. Emerged in TheEighties and became really popular in TheNineties. Can frequently overlap with NuMetal, RapMetal or AlternativeMetal. |

| 71 | !!The Funk Metal genre contains the following tropes: |
| 72 | |
| 73 | * AlternativeMetal: Almost all of the bands classified as Funk Metal could be classified as this as well. In fact, Funk Metal is arguably a subgenre of it. |
| 74 | ** NuMetal: A derivative of the genre, and some later Funk Metal bands count as this as well (ie Music/{{Korn}}, Music/LimpBizkit and arguably Music/{{Snot}} as well). |
| 75 | * HairMetal: Most of the bands that don't also count as AlternativeMetal can be considered this as well, Music/{{Extreme}} being the foremost example. |
| 76 | * PissTakeRap: Some bands singers' count as this, though many are either competent rappers or don't try to rap at all. |
| 77 | * PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: Some bands have shades of this. Not anywhere near universal, though. |
| 78 | * RapMetal: While not mutually exclusive, crossovers between funk metal and rap metal are fairly common. Bands like Chronic Future, Music/MaximumTheHormone, Zebrahead and early Music/SugarRay often use rapped vocals. |
| 79 | * UrExample: "Super Stupid" by [[Music/GeorgeClinton Funkadelic]] can be considered one of the earliest examples, as it took a metallic sound and infused their trademark {{Funk}} elements into it. |
| 80 | ** "N.I.B." by Music/BlackSabbath could also be considered an early example due to its heavy focus on a wah wah infused bassline. |
