Punk is an abomination, and is a much narrower genre than Metal. there are so many different kinds of Metal, it is mind boggling. one can be into one kind of metal without being into 5 others. not true with Punk. you're pretty much either into Punk or not.
Pretty much. Punk's main musical spanisions are Pop, Hardcore, and Skate. And the hardcore stuff can easily devolve into some drug addict screaming incoherently into a mic and then trying to rape someone. Yes really. Look up GG Alin. Guy was insane. Most of the other spanisions are along philosophical lines, whether they sing for communism, or environmentalism.
And metal is just maniacs that burn churches and sing about national socialism... and environmentalism. :p I don't believe this. But hyperboles are hyperboles.
I used to be the sort of dude that thought punk wasn't varied... But then I got into it and found it there's a hell of a lot of variety even within the same subgenre. Discharge's Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing, GISM's Detestation, Bad Brain's self-titled, and Negative Approach's Tied Down are all hardcore punk records... But they don't sound the same.
