Ian Christe writes about a lot of genres in Sound of the Beast: The Complete Headbanging History of Heavy Metal, but I'm not sure if he directly addresses the question of why so many sub-genres. It seems to me it's a healthy sign of metal's enduring popularity. The sub-genres seem mostly fan driven. Many fans don't dabble, they obsessively see all their favorites live, wear the t-shirts, buy all the albums, and live the life. And often form their own band. For every new variation a single band might create or stumble upon, there are fans that might follow through with their own band. A good example would be Lars Ulrich. A budding pro tennis player who became an obsessive metal fan who bought imports, haunted record swaps, participated in fanzine culture, flew to the UK to see his favorite band Diamond Head and ended up living with them for a bit before going back to work on his own band.

Presumably we have yet to see some Kyuss albums too.
― Mordy, Saturday, 7 August 2010 17:37 (fifteen years ago)
There was like 30+ more voters in the albums poll rather than the tracks poll, plus a few who voted in the tracks poll didn't submit a ballot. So not surprisingly results might be a bit different. So expect some surprises,left outs,too lows,wtfs and lots of GREAT albums.

one thing: BM seems set to overwhelm all other sub-genres of modern metal (doom being the sole possible exception, of course).
