My definitions could be a bit on the broad side, including a bit too much in the genre, but see if this makes sense: rock is hard and everything, but its lyrics use likenesses and emotions, even poetry. Metal's lyrics are much harder, in a physical sense, and the descriptions used to communicate its message are literal and to the point.
My simple metaphor for punk will be a lit punk. It stands out by itself, and its purpose is to light lots of fireworks which are really flippin' visible for the sake of being really flippin' visible, and usually loud.
