'''Note, this is original reasearch and this list is not sourced, this list is only intended to share my opinions in the genre, don’t take this seriously, don’t edit this, nor change personal opinion because of this list. This list is intended to be in this page only, don’t add it to a Wikipedia information page. If you disagree with this list, message me and tell me why, but don’t ever edit this without my permission. This list might be frequently edited because I change opinion quite frequently. If you agree with this list, then good, but like I said, don’t put it anywhere (unless it is in your own personal notes or page). The section is not linked because some genres (such as Southern metal and a capella metal) are almost not mentioned in all in of Wikipedia, others are not significantly covered (such as industrial death metal and blackened melodic death metal) others are somewhat covered (such as nu metalcore and light metal) and others are well-covered (such as heavy metal and death metal). But it’s not consistent and the links would be messy. I hope you don’t have conflict with any of this, thank you.'''
