Differences

  • Metal places stress on virtuosity; punk does the opposite
  • Some metal bands use keyboards
  • A lot of metal vocalists are technically strong singers (doesn't mean they're better vocalists and frontmen; in that stakes the genres are about even)
  • Metal is more subtle in its anger and can be more focussed on sadness
  • Traditional punks have short hair, traditional metalheads have long
  • Punk is newer, having started in the mid-70s as opposed to the late 60s

Similarities

  • Both genres are angry
  • Both genres are anti-establishment
  • Both genres can be politically aware
  • Both genres have had periods of mainstream acceptance despite coming from the underground
  • Both genres like to play fast with the exception of the doom subgenre (and sub-subgenres) of metal
