Power chords are metal.  |

To pay homage to Link Wray?
For a different texture to the music and for a moveable finger pattern that's fairly easy to play, why else? How could you say they sound the same as "normal" chords.

He never said that. Ok, I mean how could you say that they are no different from "regular" chords and what is your definition of a regular chord? |

I suppose (note: suppose) what he means is that he wonders why it sounds different even though the notes you're playing are a part of what you play in the normal chord. At least, that kind of a question would make sense (though it would be just as difficult to answer). |

Uh, no, he's saying they are no different from regular chords (whether he means sound wise or tonality wise is unclear), so he sees no reason why he should play them instead of regular chords. His lack of communication skills seem to be confusing you... |

No difference? The difference is that these chords start with the word POWER. That automatically makes them cooler.

Ok, what was kinda brought out is that you substitue tonality for power.
Power chords became popular via a classical composer (I forget who), who decided to drop the third and embrace the root and fifth in his composing. Later, this technique was embraced very much by The Who, and popularised by almost every rock/metal guitarist ever since.
One practical upshot is that whether the chord is major or minor you can bash away and the power chord will work regardless.
A power chord will never become 'muddy'.
