However, the subgenre is a necessary thing, imo, when it comes to punk and metal. Think how different Jimmy Eat World and Agnostic Front are. Emo and Hardcore are very different sounds, but they share a common bond in that structurally they are from the same Punk lineage.
Same for metal. Death metal is definately metal, but such a different sound than more traditional metal bands like Priest.

But then you get into things like " hardcore and punk and OI! are three diffrent subgenres". When they are all punk and they are all rock and roll.
You also get into where bands are influenced by words placed on them and start to lean towards what theyre told they should be and produce crap.
SEE-Agnostic Front,Suicidal Tendencies,GNR ect. ect.
