the answer is incredibly subjective and you’re going to get many answers that are all different but pretty valid.

for me, it’s the riff structure, the level of aggression, and the amount of distortion, as well as the drumming style.

rock tends to have more blues cliches, and if you hear double bass drums or blast beats, it’s probably on the metal or punk family tree.

rock music mostly has clean vocals. it’s a toss up for metal or punk.

i can’t imagine most rock bands using an hm-2.
