You're entirely right. If you search for it on Wikipedia you can trace influences of all bands and most of todays modern bands are influenced by earlier metal or punk bands, who were in turn influences by older metal or rock bands like Sabbath/Maiden, who were then influenced by rock and roll bands and the who expressionist sixties, and rock and roll came, more or less, from Elvis who was heavily influenced by black music and the blues. So all of todays bands are basically offshoots of fifties blues and jazz music.

Sure, hearing song after angsty song about your ex-girlfriend who you were deeply in love with but she broke your heart and now you're mad at your dad is really damn fine music. But Finch owns, I lost my virginity to that album. Not actually having sex with the CD, though I did try...

Alright fair enough :p
To be honest, despite the name, I see hair metal more as a genre of rock than metal but I guess that's very open to debate.

You got it right in your first paragraph though... it's stupid to compare genres.

Nope, actually I wrote "Like it matters" and then added all the rest in the edit.

Like it matters.

The time it took you to write that post is more than the time it would take to scroll past Trevor's post and ignore it.

and yes I see the irony of this post thankyou very much.
