Some of that is just due to what is considered "hard rock" or "metal" over the decades. After all, Jerry Lee Lewis is rock'n'roll but today's listener would drop him into their "country" bucket. And I saw Joan Jett listed as "punk" the other day... derrrrr, really?

When I first heard Wolfmother, my reaction was "neat, someone is doing hard rock again" .... but I see the group is labeled as "metal" in many listings.

Labeling genre and sub-genre just gets stupid some days
