Metal isn’t popular anymore

nigger hair metal was like the zeitgeist, thrash metal only came as a reaction

Bon Jovi is metal

all those guys are more metal than you

thrash metal only came as a reaction

also, what? glam metal became mainstream in 83 (Quiet Riot)

skid row, motley crue, def leappeard, guns and roses, etc

you are an idiot if you think metal in the 80s was just bon jovi

christ, the level of discourse here is at absolute rock bottom now

I saw meshuggah the other night on 5 grams of mushrooms. Had a great time. Its not that deep. I agree everything has gone in a very pussy direction though

Knocked Loose was on Jimmy Kimmel, so it's not like it's gone completely underground. Plus some of the more poppy mental bands are stadium-status-esque. And of course a band like Metallica still sells out arenas, but they're more of a legacy act. But my favorite types of metal, like death metal or black metal, were never very popular in the first place. A band like Cannibal Corpse, which is as mainstream as death metal gets, only sells a couple thousand tickets per show. So it's not like I really care that much, because if I did, I wouldn't listen to this kind of music in the first place.

anymore

digits don't lie. OP is a gaf
