It gets really confusing fast. Troll metal, Viking metal, Pirate metal, gore-grind, ambient deathcore... what does it all mean? I'll help by dipping into past experience to show you some different metal subgenres.
First is old school death metal:

I wouldn't say its that confusing. Things like Troll and Vking metal are just folk/black metal with a very specific theme. Not genres or fullblown subgenres in their own right but just a conveniant way of grouping various acts for ease of classification. As for deathcore/metalcore/whatsitcore, we are just looking at a concious attempt by hardcore bands to appropiate more distinctly metal elements.
