It's all about demand.
There was demand for it when it was created. When I first joined here the Hardcore/Emo forum was THE most active forum on the site.

As for splitting them into Rock and Metal I say no. There are too many sub categories as it is. I don't want this place to have about 40 different forums for every little subgenre and have only about 10 of them be active. If It was up to me I'd half the number of forums this place has.

Plus if you want to go through 8 years of threads and decide 'That's a rock thread' or 'That's a metal thread' and then move them to the appropriate forum ... be my guest.
