Default Defining Genres
Genres are something I've never really focused on or understood for a lot of music so I thought it would be nice to create a discussion about them. Discuss/debate the defining elements of genres/sub-genres that you know about.

After reading many forum discussions I am particularly interested in the Metal breakdown and Punk.

Metal is music played on metal instruments such as trombones.

Not to mention that some "Post-Punk" existed before Punk actually did.

^That's the kind of stuff I'm confused about. Sure I could look it all up on wiki, but I thought it would make for a good discussion.

@Janz, nice. haha.

Genres don't really matter, except when someone on MB uses the term 'industrial' wrong.
