Categorizing has always been a crapshoot. As I recall record shops way back had some pretty broad categories, Pop, Country, Classical, Jazz might have covered the entire Sam the Record man shop that I would hang around.
One of the first categories that I recall being invented was 'Punk'. Sometime in the late 70's the Sex Pistols came on the scene and I became aware of the genre. Didn't do a whole lot for me, but I did test the water. Other groups were added in, and that's where the confusion began for me. The Clash, which were much more appealing in sound, didn't have what I considered Punk. Hell, they had a reggae-ish feel at times. Perhaps it was the lifestyle that was implied? Then, the Punks adopted Iggy as their Godfather, which is similar to the groups that are now considered 'metal' before metal was a coined term.

That's an unfair comment....Deep Purple and Led Zep were never considered Metal in their day because to start with Metal never existed......they were always a Rock Band, maybe even classed as Heavy Rock, and in the case of Zep and a few of their tracks even Prog Rock. Metal bands came on the scene soon though......categorizing was never a science!
