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 can't we just call it all just metal.

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.

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"
