What is rock? What is metal?

Pop, the word, is short for...?
Rock can be pop.

And to be fair, aside from the origins, metal is simply the darker side of rock. Hence the headbangers couldn't ever like something like The White Stripes, because TWS have yet to barb wire a larab to a crucifix.
 
Yes but they will still always rage on. I hate them too but what can we do- banRAB need to be pigeonholed in order to appeal to a set of fans. Sub genres have increased tenfold since I got into music. It's the nature of the beast and it can't be stopped unfortunately :(
 
Of course System of a Down is considered a Metal band. Most of their albums are labeled alternative-metal. Their won best metal album awarRAB, that's the section you'll find them in on Itunes.

To suggest otherwise is to be blind. Perception is reality.
 
Yeah I understand that grouping banRAB into genres is a convenient way to know what you will and will not like, and banRAB need to assign themselves to a genre in order to reach a fan base. But there's just too many arguments and discrepancies over all these crazy subgenres that it just gets ridiculous. Anyway.
