when you say rock you're thinking of whats now labeled Classic Rock that's the Sub Genre it is now since there are so many styles of rock they don't just call it rock anymore and just because punks style is different its still rock...metal being linked to hard rock is no different from the fact that metal is a type of rock...for instance Black Sabbath was always a rock band back in the 70's but after ozzy left and did his own thing he was doing what was now classified as metal but its still rock.what youre talking about it being more vocal friendly its still just a type of rock some people choose to do like hardcore screaming and some choose to do pure vocals but regardless its still rock but what matters is what type of rock it is...what people claim is "emo" is really a genre called Post-Hardcore which is still a type of rock lol i can go on and on about this but the point is its all rock with different labels...i prefer Metal,Metalcore and Gothic Rock/Metal but at the end of the day i still just listen to rock lol!Domination said:Punk style is totally different, with all the D.I.Y and straight edge stuff and the "rawer" sound back at the beginning with Stooges and Pistols. Metal is more closely linked to Hard Rock than it is with Rock, rock is more vocal friendly and is lighter even with shouting. They may be sub genres, but their sounds are so different, so I view them as different things.
Hard Rock is still the best though. I love both the heavier Aeorsmith and a softer more blues based and acoustic and folk incoporating Led Zeppelin. i personally think of Blues-based Hard Rock to be different from the heavier Hard Rock.
Heavy metal (often referred to simply as metal) is a genre of rock music...straight off wikipedia
Also the correct term for punk is Punk Rock thats what it was originally called when it started in the 70's and is still labeled as that now.
