Theres at least a billion metal genres, most of which aren't even that different to me.

The obscure genres are generally only for elitists. When I split up metal, I normally divide it this way:
Heavy, Power, Prog, Death, Thrash/Speed, Doom/Goth/Atmospheric/Post/Sludge, Industrial, Black, Folk/Viking and nu-metal. I suppose you could add metalcore and grindcore if you wanted, but I group metalcore with nu-metal and stick grindcore under death metal. After that, I divide it on another level. Drone doom is going to sound very different to traditional doom. Brutal death is very different to melodic death... etc. |

I do like some popular metalcore but I've never really delved into the genre because I imagine it would get pretty repetitive after a while. So it's not high on the priority list. |

I agree that sub genre's sometimes are too much, saying that they don't have their uses or that it doesn't give people a fuller understanding of the style of music played is rediculous. Quote:

But theres much more than needed, some of the distinctions between one metal genre and another can be incredibly broad to the point of there being only subtle differences... I agree it's useful to have subgenres, just not as many as metal does, I just don't see it as being diverse enough to warrant having so many of them.

I've said it before and I will say it again:
