I guess in a sense yeah it can be that way.

Well, Metal is VERY hard to group because...Well there are about a half a dozen sub-genres to metal, that is what makes it hard. I'm not quite sure the difference between them all but i'm just generalizing.
Hard Rock can overlap with Metal, and the same can be said about Metal overlaping another genre.
