Sub-genres are supposed to group bands that have similar sounds together, not distinguish them from similar bands. And guess what? IT'S ALL FUCKING METAL.
It happens in other genres, but not as frequently or as perversely as metal.

If you're quite a fan of a genre, then you wouldn't think its subgenres are ridiculous because you're experienced enough to notice a lot of distinction between groups of bands.
E.g. stoner doom is worlds apart from funeral doom.

Of course you agree. You'd agree with anyone if it raises your post count.
