Map of Metal

With mesh & leather landmasses populating a sea of denim, this "map" illustrates the connections that've evolved over the decades between major and sub-genres of the hardest of rock, with YouTube-playlist-aided categories running from biggies like Glam Metal & Speed Metal, to lesser-knowns such as Folk Metal and Visual Kei, a flamboyantly costumed Japanese strain whose smash hits include "I'll Kill You" (also what most people will say to you if you keep talking to them about Visual Kei).
