These are different genres of music. Tool and A Perfect Circle are progressive metal/rock, sum 41 are punk etc. If I had to chose one common root/genre for all of them I would say rock/metal.

    I have to agree with this. NIN is often lumped into Industrial Metal. Tool is it's own genre, practically. Linkin Park was Nu Metal. The rest are a combo of Rock/Punk/Metal. But if I had to look at them all from 30,000 feet, I'd say Metal – Johnny Bones Apr 11 '16 at 14:24
  • I would not put most of these in metal -- they're a bit light in certain areas of their sound to be metal. Of the ones I have listened to, Tool is perhaps the closest and does incorporate many elements from metal. – Mateen Ulhaq Jun 10 '16 at 05:52
  • @MateenUlhaq I agree. They are different genres with rock being their common root. – papakias Jun 10 '16 at 07:24

As papakias and Johnny Bones correctly point out these bands cover many genres eg Soundgarden - Grunge/Heavy Rock/Metal. Slipknot - Metal. Rise Against - Punk. System of a Down - Metal. Seether - Grunge. Three Days Grace - Rock. Nine Inch Nails - Industrial/Techno. Tool - Prog.

I do disagree however on these bands being under the Rock/Metal or Metal genres though. Some of these bands contain no elements that could be considered Metal (specifically the modern day interpretation of Metal in which Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, originally known as Metal bands are now labeled Classic Rock or Heavy Rock).

So I would have to say Heavy Rock as a blanket genre that would cover these diverse bands.
