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
