But me saying that, say, Iron Maiden is a metal band and not a hard rock band is like me saying that an apple is a fruit and not a vegetable. Iron Maiden has all of the charactersitics of being a metal band and not a hard rock band.

What about when DRI did "crossover" or Cro Mags did "best wishes"?
Punk rock isnt the de-evolution of rock and roll its was the evolution.
same as Grunge was the semi-evolution of metal.
and i dont have a problem w/ genres its sub-genres that kill a musical movement.
