Even viking metal is more of a genre than "pirate metal", at least viking metal refers in some way to the musical arrangement in which bands like Amon Amarth take folk metal and apply traditional scandinavian folk arrangement and instrumentation to it. >_<

But it sounded good, right? Alestorm is a good band, I mean, come on. Genre is a huge pet peeve of mine, it's like people misusing the term "screamo" just for these shitty metalcore bands. It's annoying for me.
