I agree with jackhammer, I am really disheartened when I call a particular band something, i.e. 'metal', and then someone turns around and says something like "they're not metal, they're <insert sub-genre here>." Why do we have to be so particular about assigning certain genres to certain bands and not moving beyond these tags but being very closed-minded about who is what? It's kind-of stupid. Different people will see music in different ways, and may see different music in different categories to others. It ****s me, too. There should be more focus on the actual MUSIC being played rather than the meaningless word being assigned to it.
