The Importance of Sub Genres in Metal

Hey guys, I’ve just recently got into a debate with someone I know about whether or bot sub genres are important in metal. My question is: do you think they are significant to have, or do you think they are useless? The more detailed your opinion is, the better. However I appreciate short answers as well. Thank you!

Fuck yes it's important. Not every time it's gonna be a winner but even when it isn't for the many it is for the few. And all of metal were the few at one point in time. It's great that we have so many musicians pioneering sounds but also great that we have so many pushing those styles on to become subgenres. Metal is amazing because of it.

Have to say both sub, fusion, and sub fusion forms all important as if you do not mix it up then how can you experience sounds

Of cource it is. I always say if everyone was into the same thing the world would be a boring place. It's good for all genre's to feed off each other to form some other kind of madness!
