In an effort to avoid any future edit war I wanted to discuss why I feel that the lead should be changed As I ve noted previously the citations given for rap metal repeat links sourced later in the article The reason that punk rock had been given as a genre was because it was the most commonly used term given in articles about the band rather than rap rock a term that is not used by the band While it has been argued that Rolling Stone is a stronger source than some of the others it should be noted that these reviews were written as previously noted during the period in which the band was signed to a major label when the band received more coverage than it has while recording and releasing albums independently and sources agree that the majority of the band s works its debut EP debut album and all independent releases reflect a punk influence rather than a metal influence and most certainly the band s most recent work is considered to be punk influenced Thus taking into consideration that the majority and most recent of the band s works is considered to be punk rock I feel that this is the genre that should be given in the lead
