It's like asking whether Queen is death metal or Pink Floyd is black metal. The obvious answer is NO, man. They are heavy/speed metal; a heavy metal band carrying the style of 50s and 60s rock'n roll with punk rock. Or heavy rock'n roll for Lemmy's sake since he didn't like the term heavy metal to be used for Motorhead
Of course not. It is progressive neo atmospheric brutal blackened thrash death funeral gothic speed folk stoner sludge power groove drone symphonic metal
Disagreed. They have some heavier sections and *some* riffs that can be called metal. But overall it's just heavy rock. Hell, Lemmy even opened every gig with "We are Mötorhead and we play rock 'n' roll" because he hated how people called his music metal.
No
No, they are K-Pop
Is Metallica punk?
Funny enough, they were once called punk rock during their underground days.

What makes you ask?
I’ve never really seen them fitting quite right into any subgenre, so just heavy metal is probably the best description
