No, it was called Crossover. Metalcore was later. My point is that metal and hardcore have cross pollinated so much that hardcore has moved far away from its punk roots.

They sound nothing like punk. It's like saying post punk is blues because it's a form of rock and rock came from blues. At some point styles evolve far enough from their ancestors that they belong in a different category.

Grindcore is both Punk and Metal though.
I've always thought Crust was a pretty badly named and poorly defined style honestly.

Is everything that can trace its roots back punk a subgenre of punk to you? Is Indie Rock punk? Electroclash? Glam Metal?
