Sub-Genres That Should Not Be On The ''Top Ten Metal Sub-Genres'' List
Not picking Sub-Genres here just because i don't like them,but because they are just not real metal sub genres or just don't exist at all.Technically this is called metalstep, although it lies more like EDM. Besides, some industrial metal bands have a little dubstep in their songs.
So glad this doesn't exist. It would kill the roots of metal.
Thank god this doesn't actually exist.
Technically there is already nu metal. While I do agree that some heavy rap bands are not nu, RATM and Limp Bizkit are more rap/hard rock, not metal.
The list creator (HEAVYMETALTHUNDER12345) somehow got my comment explaining the difference between Rap Metal and Nu Metal removed because he didn't agree with it LMAO
Wow this nomination is like a war zone here
*sigh* Yes, there's no rap metal...
Wasn't this influenced by Black Sabbath?
Lyrical theme
Not really a genre (although for certain purposes I put this in my basic metal subgenres list). More like an umbrella term for 80s rock bands with flashy outfits. Most bands are more rock n roll type, although there are some that are truly metal.
I think grindcore should be in that list for technical reasons. I do agree that it's not pure metal though, as it derives a bit more from hardcore punk.
Then again, if we have to consider grindcore as a metal subgenre, then we should also consider all thrash, death, and black metal bands as subgenres as hardcore punk.
Do you know of any power metal songs with djent style? Or it is possible at least?
This one is debatable. Is it really a metal subgenre, or is it just a term used for any doom (usually death-doom), symphonic (especially Nightwish, Epica and WT), or industrial band (Rammstein, Deathstars) with a dark and emotional atmosphere? Even bands like Evanescence and Black Veil Brides are given this label (or at least goth rock), both of which are not really metal. I do know that this is used to describe "true" bands such as Paradise Lost and Type O Negative, so I can get how it can be a genre. But then again, this will start the entire "true vs poser" debate all over again.
Nah, death metal is an actual metal genre
Because it's awful
Similar to viking metal
Any style of metal with Nordic themes (eg. black, folk, melo-death, power) can be considered "viking metal"
