No, metal and rock music are not the same. Rock is a broad genre that encompasses many styles, including metal. Rock music typically has a simple verse-chorus song structure, a four-beat drum pattern, and a focus on electric guitars. Metal is a more specific genre that emerged from hard rock. It is characterized by its heavy, down-picked guitar sound, its high-pitched screams, and its darker, louder, and faster sound.
