I'm not usually one to support the genre classification debate, but how in the world is muse metal?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_power_metal_bands

power metal will get on your nerves sooner than later though. don't get me wrong, guardian is one of my favorite bands of all time (although i do tend to like their earlier thrashy stuff) but most power metal is just so fucking cheesy. but i guess that's what they're going for.

what's wrong with categorizing music? metal has more subgenres than i can count, but they're all extremely diverse and necessary. the problems start when people start putting music in the wrong category. like, for example, muse being power metal.

There's nothing really wrong with categorizing metal into sub-genres. The only problem is there are too many. I can understand having to specify between power metal, death metal, and thrash, but when I hear people explaining the difference between 20 sub-genres of death metal when they ALL sound alike (and probably don't really exist) then it seems pretty gratuitous.


Well...then again this probably just makes a point for your arguement about the only problem being people miscategorizing bands so...nevermind.

categorization is useful for instance when you are searching for bands similar to the ones you like, it however does not make good debate material since there these days more and more bands mix a lot of stuff up and there are 224154 names for it, so saying *rofl u dont know what genre that and this is * is useless, people are gonna call stuff what they want, and just because the majority says its so does not mean it is, just look whats labeled under "melodic death metal" these days.

There's no such thing as trash metal. It's THRASH people, THRASH.
And it is the best subgenre ever. : [
