IF ROCK MUSIC WERE A SUBWAY MAP…

… it might look something like this, posted by “theonlyone” on Flickr and brought to our attention by Metal Injection. Some of the line designations seems a bit arbitrary, but the intersections / main stations are accurate enough to make you go “fuck yes!” Click the image above to enlarge.

      Whoops, sorry about the double post. Didn’t mean to look like a douche.

    This pretty cool but how does hardcore not intersect with metal?

    That’s not the first time I see something like this. In Brazil we have a nice scientifc magazine called Superinteressante, which once published an infographic just like that!

      nice

    What, no Hatebreed, but Converge?

    • Steph

      Well yeah, Converge are much better.

      • Harold

        I’ll just face palm, and let that pass

        • Steph

          Why? They’re much more influential in the hardcore scene, more creative, experimental, intense and have put out some of the best -core records of the last decade. That chugging, militant metal thing Hatebreed do is the worst type of Hardcore.

    Mr Bungle grunge and Faith No More not on an intersection? Fuck right off!!!

  • Steph

    What are Death Cab for Cutie doing on the punk rock line? The emo line is pretty messed up too, Rites of Spring aren’t even on there.

    sent you guys an email a while ago about this

    • Adam

      Yeah, seems sometimes when readers send stuff in it gets overlooked until a bigger cred source (like another website) posts it. For example, I sent in the “any picture is improved by adding immortal to it” thing a week before they ran that post, citing metal inside I think it was as the source.
