Personally, I like all the sub-genres in metal as it makes for great discussion. Sure there are too many but they do serve as a great way for grouping bands and syles of metal, despite the fact that bands within a sub-genre can sound very different but they do tend to have common traits. By putting metal bands into categories, it makes for great discussion. Before metal sub-genres kicked in, metal throughout the 1970s and early 1980s was mostly just grouped together with hard rock and bands like Iron Maiden, Kiss, UFO, Scorpions, Van Halen and AC/DC all got grouped together.
