| − | '''Crossover thrash''' (often abbreviated to '''crossover''') is a form of [[thrash metal]] and hardcore punk which had mixed both genres together or had influences from each other. Its overall sound is more Punk-influenced than traditional thrash metal, while more metal sounding than traditional hardcore punk and thrashcore. Crossover is often more aggressive, faster, and simpler than traditional thrash metal due to the heavier punk influence.

| − | Crossover incorporated slower paced thrash riffs mixed with breakdown riffs commonly used in hardcore and helped forge ''two'' derivatives, one known as ''groove metal'' or sometimes called post-thrash, and the other, known as ''metalcore'', the former, groove metal, having more of a darker heavy metal aesthetic, including guitar solos, classical music influence, and blues roots from traditional metal, and staying close to its thrash metal roots, and the latter, metalcore, having more of a hardcore punk aesthetic, usually excluding guitar solos in favor of rhythmic guitars.
