Actually it does. Take Twiztid. They have grown in every single way. They use multiple syllables now, their delivery has gotten a lot better, their lyrics are a lot less corny and thought out much better. They have matured. They have gone from songs like '**** On The 1st Date' to 'All The Rest'. Their albums don't include nearly as many references to their genitalia nor things going into anuses.
ICP have become even more immature. They went from 'Nothing's Left' to 'Miricles'. Rarely do they ever put out anything that is as politically or socially reflective as their early work. The concept of their new project is find Jesus or you will forever be miserable. Their concept of their first project was taking the violence and carnage of the lower class and bringing it to the upper class so they can't ignore it.
A lot of the acts they inspired are usually just corny plagiarized versions of ICP.
