Well my point was genres tend to be derived from other genres, there's the connection. I think in order to separate them they must involve distinctions, differences, or some sound chemistry that solidify each genre from the other. You could agree that a lot of funk, soul, jazz can be tricky to distinguish, couldn't you?

You're focusing too much on the distorted guitar thing. There's a very distinct difference between a punk riff and a metal riff. Metal riffing usually employs a lot of picking, whereas punk riffs are usually just strumming. Hardcore is different, but 99% of hardcore bands could easily be classified as metal bands as well.

Uh I don't see how I was, just one comparison. Either way, distorted guitars are a big part of what makes Metal anyway. Punk riffs are played differently from Metal riffs mostly yes, I agree, but they can sound very similar. Loud, aggressive, fast. It has more to do than distortion.
