The main genres are:
Doom, Heavy, Speed, Thrash, Black, Death, Power, Progressive, Folk, Sludge, Stoner, Gothic, Funeral, Drone

Minor/mislabelled genres:
Metalcore (certain bands only),
Goregrind (certain bands only),
Industrial (most bands that are considered to be this are actually just an existing genre with Industrial elements added in)
Symphonic (see industrial)
Neo-classical (see industrial)
Avant-Garde (I'm not 100% sure on this, but my understanding is that it's not completely correct usage, but it's a term for bands that mix so many different styles that it can't really be placed in a single genre.)
Epic (This is an element added to the music, most things considered to be just plain "epic metal" are usually epic heavy, it can be used in most/every genre though)
Post-Metal (Not an actual genre, just a term used for bands that incorporate Post-Rock influences)

As for stuff like Glam/Hair bands, this is not actually even a genre, it's just a name for the bands that were a part of the scene, some are Hard Rock, others are Heavy Metal. For Nu-Metal/NWOAHM, these bands were never actually considered metal (or at least not by anyone in the actual metal scene, just by Mtv and the like).

It was mainly metalcore like Lamb of God, Shadows Fall, etc.

Uh. Could you really pinpoint a "founding father" for a certain lyrical theme? Seems kinda absurd to me.

It is, since lyrics don't define a genre. Vocals might affect, but c'mon, lyrics?

I am curious is there a good resource to read on the history of Heavy Metal. I did see one book but it was kinda inaccurate for the latter years...talking about Nirvana and Red Hot Chili Peppers.... confused

C'mon Grave you supposed to know these things man...kidding with ya xd

But yea I did see one book in borders (cant remember the name) that had cover art from a lot of different bands in Heavy Metal...only thing it had some art from bands as I said above from RHCP, Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine I believe as well. All good bands but definitely not Metal.
