No, not really - sure, fans of those sub-genres of metal will be quick to tell you just how different they are, but to literally anyone else, they all sound exactly the same: Like a bunch of long-haired men screaming/growling/rhythmically grunting, accompanied by very angry sounding music.reg42 said:You just said 3 very different sub genres.ICantBelieveItGoesBoom said:Also that crazy Viking/death/black/whatever the fuck you want to call it metal.
It's like me saying "I hate that jazz/blues/classical stuff"
If you can't see why that would be the case, consider this: In Metal, there's a term called "clean vocals", which in literally any other genre would just mean "the vocalist sings". That there is a need to label singing as a specific vocal technique says literally everything you need to know about why non-metal enthusiasts generalize like that.
