Has anybody got any common sense anymore?

So, because I do not know what they are, I am unable to try to learn about them? I didn't start this thread by saying that I throw out lots of different sub-genres when I talk or write and have no clue what they are. I started this thread because I wanted some enlightenment on why there are so many sub-genres within metal.

Thank you Briks for the links, it's very useful.

Just FYI there's no apostrophe in the word "genres". It's a plural not a possessive.

Yeah, like:

Learning comes with listening.

The more you listen the more you pick up subtle differences.
When you know what these subtle differences are then you may need something to distinguish them when describing them. You're trying to do it the other way around.

You said they all sound the same for you, so you're not in the position of needing to know.

In other words, it's not important, just carry on listening to music and don't worry about it.

Well, I didn't say they all sound the same, I said that people fight over songs being in a certain genre that sounds more or less the same as another genre, so there are differences, however, I do not feel there are enough differences to warrent a whole new genre. I hope that makes sense.

Also, thank you Janszoon as I wasn't sure on which spelling was correct.

The reality is that the metal gender by now is very much complicated to define, ahahah it's war between metalheads, but they don't know for what war fighting.

So metalheads identify as an entirely different gender as opposed to male or female?

If you try too hard to define music by genres, how will you truly enjoy what you're listening to? You're missing the whole point.
