I can't tell what it IS, anymore.  What is called metal now doesn't seem very metal.

There's an immense amount of sub-categories.  In fact, a fairly cool documentary was made recently, called "A Headbanger's Journey".  They had a chart.  I'll see if I can find it.





Something like that.

I'm not going to say that was predictable (I was waiting for "thorium"), but there are as yet undiscovered tribes in Peru that knew that was going to happen.

LMNO, that was a list of genres and bands, which - though helpful - doesn't offer a definition.

1. For the most part, loud.
2. For the most part, contains at least electric guitar, electric bass, drums.
3. Not existant prior to electronic amplification/distortion.
2. For the most part, takes themselves very, very (almost ridiculously) seriously.

That's about as narrow as you can get it and still encompass everything.

So, The Beatles towards the end?

Also, list contains Warrant.  List is invalid.

"Helter Skelter", the song was pretty metal, if not actually loud enough.

METAL IS THE HOARFROST FORMING ON THE TESTICLES OF THE CRIMSON DARK REAPERS THAT RIDE TO VANQUISH YOUR EARDRUMS.

METAL IS A GUITAR SCREECHING AT YOU, PUSHED TO THE PHYSICAL LIMITS OF ITS EXISTENCE, BURNING THE AIR AND SETTING YOUR CILIA ON EDGE WITH FEAR AND AWE.

METAL IS LEMMY KILMISTER.

METAL IS THE HOOVES FROM THE GRIM STEED ECHOING ON FROZEN LAKES, ITS BREATH ELECTRIC, ITS MANE SHRIVELING YOUR EYES IN ITS FULLNESS AND GLORY AND VIRILITY.

METAL IS BAD HAIRCUTS AND LOUD NOISES AND LEATHER, LOTS OF STUDDED LEATHER, AND CORPSEPAINT AND BOOTS AND SHARP THINGS, SHARP THINGS EVERYWHERE AND GUTTURAL, ANGRY VOCALS AND NO SOUL, NO SOUL AT ALL BECAUSE IT HASN'T BEEN SOLD IT'S BEEN RENOUNCED IN RAGE AND PASSION AND PASSION FOR RAGE AND IT'S DENIM.
