I always figured it was because metal is harder than rock.
- But rocks are harder. Metal can bend where rocks would break.
  
  You're talking about brittleness and tensile strength, not hardness. Hardness is measured with the Mohs Hardness Scale, and there is significant cross-over between "rocks" and hardened metal.
  
  Ah! Might good sir be a fellow Mechanical Engineer?
  (no one else considers stuff that break instead of bend to be "harder")
  
  But metal can also split rock. Or crush it, or pulverize it, or drill it, or etc.
  
  depends on the "rock" and the "metal" (usually an alloy)
- What about lead vs obsidian?
  Check and mate, music nerds.
  
  Diamond is the hardest metal. Ask any astrophysicist

Ore not.
- Folk Ore?

Garage is adjacent to House. Typically smaller, usually hotter, and often used when you want to go faster.
Jungle is way the fuck out there but it is always an adventure. Full of endangered species and ancient treasures, more organic and mysterious.
Breaks is when you’re broke and at a strip club in Florida.

Does that mean heavy metal is just metal that is toxic in low doses?
- That would check out. Have you seen how many heavy metal bands are composed of nazis?
  
  Low effort bait.

I’m so glad you invented metalbending
- That's Toph, buddy.
  
  Toph is gangster as fuck
- It's called progmetal
