I would put metal in the same boat-its all metal and its all rock and roll.
Metal gets alot more press than hardcore punk.
I can only discuss metal up to the early 90s but IMO metalica is a perfect example everything after Justice blows imo and that had alot to do w/ Metalica being influenced from outside sources.(some would say everything after Cliff died sucked)

The point im trying to make is that when you put every band under your thumb it kills what made those bands org. in the first place.
Its human nature to do so but IMO it breeds alot of bullshit and bad music,because it gets away from what rock and roll is all about-

Thumbing your nose at everything.

To bad you live way up north,ive got about 600+ LPs and love to swap tunes.
