I agree with you guys completely, Maybe Metal seemed more mainstream to me because that was the world I lived in and what I paid attention to at that time so it was more of a perception thing. Metal has and always will have a mass following and the music will keep being put out like always. I like it the way it is too, underground where the mainstream can't taint and ruin it anyway. Thaks a lot for the replies everybody. I appreciate the input. Stay Metal!
