Snobbery?

yeah probably. seems to me journos in the metal community are the ones most likely to come up with sub-sub-sub-genre names. To non-metal fans it's all just metal but i think followers of say speed metal like to distance themselves from 'cheesier' stuff like hair metal

And for today's delight & delectation we have 

 

Dickensian Victoriana Metal with Gothic Groove twist

 

No, I didn't just make that up. They're a band based in Hemel Hempstead, I think ( @Lozz196 might know), called Tellers Scribe.
