I am not a big rock fan at all but I sometimes have trouble telling the differences between each bands, etc. Like the genre. I know there are many genres in rock music like metal, trash metal, death metal, emo, punk, power-punk, goth, soft rock etc ...

But how are these bands I listed differ from each other? Are they all different rock genres? Someone break down each one:

Nickelback, All-American Rejects, Avenged Sevenfold, Korn, Yellowcard, Metallica ....

and what is power-pop rock?

By the way... Metal is it's own genre. Deffinately not a sub-genre of rock music.

By the way... Metal is it's own genre. Deffinately not a sub-genre of rock music.

Technically it is... metal evolved from hardcore punk, punk being a sub-genre of rock.

Some bands from each genre you listed:
Thrash metal - Megadeth, Testament, Kreator
Death metal - Death, Morbid Angel, Possessed
Emo - Rites Of Spring, Moss Icon
Punk - The Ramones, The Sex Pistols
Power-punk - ?!
Gothic ROCK - Bauhaus, Siouxsie & the Banshees
Gothic METAL - Macbeth, Beseech, Silentium
Soft rock - ABBA


Look these bands up, and you should be able to hear the differences in styles if you have an ear for music.
