Good quiz, can I make three suggestions:

- list your source somewhere in the description, because no list is exhaustive and it's fairer if people know the source.

- remove the need to include the word "metal" at the end of answers where that applies. If someone writes "black", for example, they're obviously referring to black metal.

- some kind of rationale behind the order you've chosen. Right now the order seems a bit arbitrary. Alphabetical might work if you're not going to group them by subcategories.
