I Farted and Made a New Metal Sub Genre

I can't say I've ever heard of Clutch being referred to as "beardcore".

Sounds like they were just trying to be funny.

I don't know, you said it was "utterly ludicrous" a couple minutes ago.

To add on to your post, discussions about metal would be far more confusing if sub genres didn't exist. Especially when getting into a discussion about death metal or black metal.

Everything serves a function. And there's always something to be outdone in a lot of these genres you're mentioning. I don't really have a feeling on electronica, but Metal, Jazz, & Punk have a sense of elitism attached to them on a stronger, more consistent basis than say Blues, Rock, or Country.

For example you tend not to get a lot of "Oh thats not real [genre]" in most of the latter genres I listed. Bluegrass is, inexplicably, starting to become elitist as well, and you're starting to see things like Nugrass, Newgrass, and Chambergrass pop-up.

I'm not intending to pick on Metal, but that was the topic given to us.
