Yes you can but on some Guitars (Hollow-bodies, semi hollow bodies, and acoustics) it doesn't give you a desirable overdriven tone.

Any guitar, electric or not, can play any genre of music. You can hear some people play the accoustic guitar in a very heavy metal fashion and classical has been played extremely well with a distorted electric guitar by famous bands like Epica, Nightscape, Magic Kingdom and Skylark, to name a few. There is a band that plays a heavy metal style and all they play is cellos (Apocalyptica), so it doesn't matter the instrument, any style can be attempted and sometimes successfully translated and conveyed.

How is heavy metal music different from any other genre?

I am not sure if you mean how Metal differs from other genres like Techno or Pop.. or you mean how Heavy Metal differs from the other sub-genres of Metal like Melodic Death Metal or Nu Metal. However.. Heavy Metal differs from most other Genre because more than five people play instruments - Bass guitar, Lead Guitar, Drums, Singer, Keyboard, Second Guitar player ecetera. Other Genre like Techno, Pop, Rap or similiar does have commonly one singer or two, sometimes with background singers and commonly a program to change their voice or add synthetical music later to their songs.

My band, we have a metal core, death core, post core sound, but that's not all I know how to play, I can play jazz, blues, acoustic, any metal etc. But there is only opinions to this question there won't be an answer.
