You're not understaning what I mean when I say 'pub rock'. It has nothing to do with stage props or theatricals, it was a 'scene', if you want, that was very 'happening' here at the time. Just like the 'punk' movement in say the US or England. If you understand that, then you'll know what I'm saying. Therefore it does have alot to do with cultural perceptions - it's not hard to see when most Americans on the board have said that AC/DC are 'heavy metal', and if there were more Australians on the board (or more Australians who had a sense of their Australian music throughout the decades) they would find it hard to call AC/DC 'metal'.

And them themes within their songs were just rebellion, and more about getting laid than anything - which is not just a 'metal' ideology.
