That’s like confusing Katatonia with Ved Buens End. Blasphemy.

Doom metal is often called stoner metal. That’s not the vibe Vader gives, swap Yoda and Vader at bare minimum.

Stoner metal is a separate thing from doom metal.
It is strongly influenced by doom metal, but distinct from it.

The lines are often so close that the bands themselves don’t care between the distinction. I think the only time it’s obvious are when the bands make weed culture apart of their identity, like Belzebong.

I disagree with this. At best, this is a square-rectangle situation. I’d agree that many, maybe even most, stoner metal bands are also doom metal bands, but the vast majority of doom metal bands are not stoner metal. No savvy person would refer to Thou as stoner metal.
And counterintuitive as it sounds, what a band calls themselves actually does not matter at all. Genres are descriptive, not prescriptive; if Depeche Mode came out today and called themselves a black metal band it wouldn’t make their music not synthpop/dark wave.

Regardless I stand by doom metal fitting Yoda better than Vader.
