on my ipod I have, post-hardcore, metalcore, deathcore, "pirate metal" (if you'll count that as a sub genre), hardcore punk, "normal"punk, power metal, thrash metal, hard rock, death metal, rap, electronic, folk metal, progressive metal, progressive rock, alternative rock, gothic metal, nu metal, electro metal, pop-punk, "djent" and even psycobilly.
I think I'm pretty varied.

Why does it matter if one band nu metal and another heavy metal
why can't we just call it all just metal.

Because than someone like I, who likes some power or speed metal would have a very hard time finding the stuff I like in just one genre that now exists. Please don't put black metal in with that. Subgenres really are needed.

Please don't be such meat head, this like asking to call all shades of green, green. Sure you'd still have all the greens, but good luck asking for the shade you like.

I suppose
still, I feel like all genres of metal should at least be RESPECTED. So what metalcore usually isn't as musically demanding as power metal and maybe you prefer i band like angra or cryonic temple to Bring me the horizon or asking alexiandria you should at least let other people enjoy them insted of saying "they're so gehy all you stupid little emo***s listeing to chugchugchugchugchug on the guitar lulz"

Sounds like you have been hanging around too many high school aged kids. I haven't heard someone call any form of music ghey or for emo's since I got out. Though, I do suppose that also depends on who you surround yourself with in the first place.
