Prog Metal for the win! XD
shareYou're missing folk metal and symphonic metal. Thrash and speed metal are basically the same. Grindcore is worthy of being there since it's largely considered a metal subgenre.
However, as much as I love it, glam metal isn't really considered metal - it's actually hard rock.
Not worth putting all the subgenres down (symphonic death metal doesn't exist, btw) like you did withh symphonic/melodic black metal. Otherwise where is war/bestial black metal, depressive/suicidal black metal, slam death metal, brutal death metal, technical death metal, pagan metal, goregrind etc.?
But yeah, this documentary totally messed up on the genealogy chart. Clearly this guy's not as big a metalhead as he'd like to think.

I still put the fun back into funerals.
Ask a hundred metalheads to list the various subgenres and you'll get a hundred different responses. Much as I love metal, the idea of people getting into shouting matches on the interwebs (not saying that's happening here, but it does happen) over whether a particular band is deathcore or melodic death metal or grindcore or whatever is really ridiculous and patently unnecessary.
shareIf glam's necessary, so's NWOBHM.
shareIt's all just Rock and Roll
shareTartar Control Metal

New Wave of British Heavy Metal not necessary? Are you *beep* kidding me? Priest, Maiden, Motorhead, Tygers of Pan Tang, Saxon, Diamond Head, Holocaust, Accept, early Def Leppard, Witchfynde, Angel Witch, Blitzkrieg, Raven, Tank and MANY MORE don't count?
