Metal is not the underground phenomenon it was in the early to mid 90's. Like what's already been mentioned, metal's production standards are more accessible to mainstream audiences. It's clean and loud. Not too many people want to hear the grittiness of metal anymore because they don't understand it. Just about everyone on this board loves the classic eras of metal and wants the current form of this genre of music to regress to the "old days".

To me, metal is the only type of music where fans are the most knowledgeable, discerning and can easily tell what the poser bands are. Unfortunately, it's the poser bands who get popular because they pander to an audience looking for the hits, so to say.

I too believe that the evolution of this music is done but we should just enjoy the masterpieces already given to us and not pay attention to the crappy bands. Maybe they'll die off and we'll have a resurgence in greatness.
