Top Ten Words to Describe Certain Genres of Metal

Wow..Great list, all right words for the genres!

This is one of the reasons I like prog metal. Very few metal genres are complicated as prog metal.

Yes. It's very overrated and most of it isn't metal. Look, usually Nu metal bands are nominated for the metal Grammys and often win. Korn won a Grammy but bands like Death, Opeth, Blind Guardian, etc., never won. Also, Korn won a Metal Grammy in 2003, Megadeth - in 2017... And Korn admitted they were never a metal band but didn't return the Metal Grammy. Disgusting.

Is this brutal death metal or are you describing the whole genre?

I like saying ominous.

Deathcore is the punk version of death metal. Not metal for me.

With the exception of Job For A Cowboy

Extreme metal is not really a genre. Its just a part of metal music. People call it umbrella term. But yeah, extreme metal is very aggressive. Death metal, black metal or thrash metal for example.

I don't like metalcore vocals. But I think metalcore instrumental is good. I don't like the famous metalcore bands. I like some underrated metalcore bands.

The emo Metalcore bands are crap but bands like Bullet For My Valentine and As I Lay Dying are great.-DarkBoi-X

Great way to describe this genre of "Metal"

Look, metalcore is "core" (i.e. punk) influenced by metal. It's basically a punk subgenre. Some metalcore bands skip the metal part and what's left is punk with pop. No metal in it.

This isn't a music subgenre. It's grindcore with porn lyrics. The genre is grindcore. Oh, and it's punk, not metal. So stop putting Pornogrind is metal genres. It's not a genre and not metal.

It's not metal. It's punk.

Yes, it is robotic but most of it isn't really metal, it's just industrial rock people think is metal. Basically the concept of "Industrial Metal" bears a contradiction in it.
