Definitely. To me, soul has a bigger emphasis on vocals, it's roots lie in doo-wop and even earlier vocal groups like the Ink Spots from the 30s. Funk, like jazz, has a higher emphasis on rhythm.

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.

Distortion is just really common criteria.
