I've always chose punk over metal, its just that simple, its like comparing Apples to Oranges. To outsiders people will never understand it, but as a underground movement we know. BTW, i've always loved thrash and doom/sludge metal, thats probably the most metal you'll hear out of this guy. Although, I never understood how people get into death metal, or even black metal. To me Punk is something I can relate too, and a lot of metal just is for show or imagery.
@srhdgaf586 Really? Like apples to oranges? If you take a band like Skitsystem who are right in the middle of crust punk and black metal, or a band like DRI who are crossover thrash, nobody on the planet can agree on whether they're punk or metal so, unless someone has cross bread apples and oranges, thats a pretty bad metaphor. Oh, and, I'm not an outsider by any stretch. I pretty much religiously listened to punk for about five years and hated metal until I finally gave it a chance.
@7ChaosBlack I'm not a huge Black Metal fan, really. I like Darkthrone, Emperor, some of Immortal's early stuff, obviously I like Venom but most people consider them to be more thrash/speed metal as opposed to black metal. Where Black Metal tends to lose me is in its theatricality, it tends to be abit too over-the-top for my tastes.
I'm a fan of both. I also originally was a punk but then i became a bigger fan of metal. But honestly, it's a similar mentality. You get a lot out of both
@littlerudegirrrrl I consider myself a punk first and a metalhead second but, as you said, its a similar mentality. Granted, at about 14/15, I went through a phase of disregarding metal and anything else that wasn't either punk or hiphop. Looking back, I can't even explain why I viewed metal so differently to punk, I guess an oversimplification would be musicianship vs. conviction. I think the musical divide is largely about genre stereotypes rather than the bands themselves.

The best things that has happened with the mix of Punk and Metal are (U.S.)
N.Y. Hardcore, W.M. Hardcore, etc. , and (UK) Grindcore. Punk and metal come from the same place in the mind, let's stop trying to pick things apart.

@FreakBoi2008
So you basically like emo, funk metal, screamo, nu-metal, post grunge and metalcore 'cus they are basically offshoots of punk.
