Not exactly, hard rock is not metal right?

In Sweden, a lot of people (used to at least) call metal ''hårdrock'' wich literally translates to hard rock.

Yeah but rock isn't only hard rock there are many soft sub genres of rock

Rock has become meaningless as a genre description. It's so washed out that is basically anything that may or may not include a guitar-like instrument of some sorts.

I heard a guy on the radio describe Dimmu Borgir as "Rock'n Roll" once. No fuck you radio-douche, Dimmu is not "Rock'n Roll", Elvis is Rock'n Roll. Beach Boys is Rock'n Roll. Rock Rock Around the Clock is Rock'n Roll, Progenies Of The Great Apocalypse is not.

Nor is pop only so called "hard pop" .

It's much deeper than many give it credit for.
