and in anyway can you all undertand why i have a problem with all these genres..i mean 17 are listed here under theHard Rock unbrella... then you add the sub-genres from all the other standard genres and end up with some 100+....crap IMO!
If you seriously are interested in the differences go here: http://mapofmetal.com/#/home <--- this site really does a very good job of defining the related sub-genres in metal.
It takes a bit to load but will certainly help you navigate through the huge variety of styles in the Metal Genre.
BTW:
Yes I do understand all of those specific genres but they are of interest to me.
Much like the genre of Latin Music - some will say (not incorrectly by the way) it's all latin music. Though a bossa nova does not translate well with a beguine or a samba or a merengue (they are all related - all latin) - the list goes on and on - and different interpretations of those styles create different sub-genres. The Cuban Clave pattern makes it next to impossible for Brazillians to play with them as they flip it around (Cubans go 2 - 3 and Brazillians go 3-2) - doesn't seem like much to the casual listener but it's a big deal to a rhythm section if they are playing with a soloist who plays in one of those styles.
It really depends on whether you have the interest to dig deeper. If you don't that's cool but just because you don't care does not mean it does not exist. There is nothing wrong with saying I like/don't like latin music, just as there is nothing wrong with saying I like/ don't like metal music.
Those who like/play it have more specific definitions to improve their communication with other interested parties. For most, Latin or Metal is more than enough to describe the music genre they like or do not like.
