Living Colour, Primus, some Faith No More, 24-7 Spyz... It's definitely a genre.

Probably because they're a branch of alternative metal (and simultaneously alternative rock), meaning they don't fit into the technical genre restrictions of your average metal sub-genre.

Anyway, if funk metal played a part in this game it would be along the lines of mesmerizing the dragon with some slick disco dance moves as the knight electric slides into the cave where the princess is held before wooing her with some more disco dance moves. The dragon returns to the den to join and they all live dance happily ever after.

*Stoner Metal
The Protagonist arrives hours late stoned out of his mind, smokes with the dragon, and they both forget about the princess and search for food.

Thrash Metal* correction
The Protagonist arrives at the castle with a beer in his hand... he jumps on the dragon and starts a circle pit that destroys the castle entirely and leaves, drunk, with the princess on his shoulder, still with a beer in his hand.

Technical Death Metal*
The Protagonist arrives at the castle, he growls at the dragon and this one dies because of bad breath... he finally leave intact without the princess because princesses are way too mainstream.

Anyway, if I were the princess, I would prefer staying with the dragon, than being saved by anyone of this "heroes"
I could tell people then: Hey, did you know I have a Dragon at home?

The protagonist arrival takes hundred years, finally the protagonist arrives,
the princess and the dragon are both dead and gone, it would take the protagonist another hundred years to realize this.

*DRONE METAL
The protagonist takes several months to arrive. Once he finally arrives he plays a note so low that the dragon shits himself to death, sadly the princess does also.

*AVANTGARDE DEATH METAL
The protagonist arrives, rapes the dragon to death and saves the princess, only to rape her to death with a trombone while wearing the dragon's face as a mask.

what kind of discussion was this?
it would be great having a dragon and a unicorn for me... I could sell tickets if people wanna come and see them, since such creatures are rare (well, some of the people would have to be feed to the dragon, the unicorn eats grass, and is enough)

* HARDCORE/METALCORE/ ?
The protagonist screams his lungs out, slays the dragon with a combination of violant moves and powerfull slowmotion action, growling some stuff that doesn't make any sense, rushes to the princess and takes the time for a few beautifull notes and lets his bassplayer sing some clean emotional stuff that move the princess deeply ... they fuck her and proceed to the next castle.
