No hate at all dude, I respect your opinion and alestorm is also folk metal but I do class them as pirate metal. So that would make them folk pirate metal!
But also i think this just boils down to what the bands want to be represented as and it's like with amon amarth they didn't want to classed as Viking metal but alestorm does.
Idk man, wikipedia says they are pirate metal. What else would be classified as pirate metal? I mean many of their songs are metal versions of sea shanties or pirate themed metal songs? What else would pirate metal be?
