So umm.... like... why are there so many different sub-genres? And how do you tell between them? And why is the best one (Nu Metal, not as if I even know what differentiates it from the others ) not there?

I didn't include nu metal, as many people don't consider it to be metal, so I just avoided that can of worms altogether.

I don't consider most of it to be metal.  It had chunky guitars (sometimes) but took too much influence from pop and hip hop to really be accepted by the community.  And I don't mean to say that any bands with rapping can't be metal. Stuck Mojo and Body Count kind of prove that.
