What? Yes it is. A simile is a type of metaphor lol it’s used to make comparison and typically uses “like” to do it
met·a·phor
/ˈmedəˌfôr/
noun
a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable.
"her poetry depends on suggestion and metaphor"

sim·i·le
/ˈsiməlē/
noun
a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid (e.g., as brave as a lion, crazy like a fox ).

This is basic shyt.

A simile makes a comparison using the words “like” or “as.”

Example: The concert was so crowded, it felt like a million people were there.

A metaphor makes the comparison directly, substituting one thing for another.

Example: That test was a killer.

A simile is a type of metaphor, meaning all similes are metaphors, however, not all metaphors are similes.

A simile is a type of metaphor. This is basic figurative language

“I think I like her like a metaphor” I used a similar “like” to compare how he feels

“It hards to get” extended metaphor here to describe most don’t understand metaphors and how hard it is to describe the feeling

Schooling people takes forever; don't bother
When Jin told people to learn Chinese but the hook contains Cantonese adlibs and Cantonese in the lyrics. Cantonese is a Chinese dialect but he could have used mandarin Chinese to not just appeal to Hong Kong people... It did work out in the long run when he took his career to Hong Kong and major international trade is done there for them to spend more on entertainment, plus mainland China would have censored his free speech in rap compared to other Cantonese/Taiwanese markets more open to American ideas
