Dude seriously? Come on
I understand listing genres like that makes you feel good because you have pride in being a metalhead and thats all well and good but wtf is stoner metal or stoner doom? Are they real genres? Like where does stoner metal even come from? Does it actually have a distinct sound?
Not trying to have a go at you or anything i'm just asking cos i've been in your shoes before and eventually i realised that a lot of these sub-genres are nothing more than slight variations that could come from any heavy metal band who want to try something different, not all of them but many fit into this category.

P.s Glam Metal is hardly different from regular Heavy Metal, the only difference is the attitude and the fashion but the music is generally the same apart from the odd riff structure they employ to fit with their image

Yes they are real genres. Stoner doom is a bit redundant but you could say that it covers a distinction between artists.

I want some of what you're smoking while I listen to stoner metal.

Sand metal as well. People underestimate how large it is because sand metal bands ride single file to hide their numbers.
