I saw two guys having this discussion today:
One said that metal as a whole is a subgenre of rock music, so it should be considered rock. The other one said that while it is true that metal took a lot of influence of rock music, it's a completely different thing, that it's just metal, not rock.
I hate this kind of discussion but I can't stop thinking about it now. Who do you think was right?
Pic unrelated, Rob Halford is a fag, but a cool fag.

While it's a meritorious discussion I think you'll find this resource might settle the dispute for you.

subgenre

is there more to the question than what metal should be called
>>
Metal is it's own thing now. Maybe in the beginning, it was just a subgenre but it has enough distinct qualities and diverse sounds to stand on its own now.
>>
it's called metal because it's harder than rock.
totally separate things.

Subgenre.
It's not like genres matter for any reason other than genealogical anyways.
Still a subgenre in that case.

I would retroactively re-classify rock as a hybrid of blues and metal. It doesn't matter that rock came first.

>>68286493
It's a separate offshoot, not a subgenre.
Sure the pioneers of metal, even before "metal" was even coined as a term can be classified as rock or metal either way but now the distinction is clear-cut. Especially since metal has its own cluster of sub-genres
