Are you serious? Do you listen to Devourment and Nile and say, this is the same kind of music? I'm sorry, but you either have a very bad ear or are just lazy and want to label everything as being "metal", or "punk", "rap", etc. The truth is, subgenres are real, and possess distinct qualities, enough to set them apart from other their parent genres and sibling subgenres.

He's not saying all sub-genres are irrelevant, I think he's just saying that getting down to the nitty-gritty of what is and isn't in 2 very closely related genres is pointless.
