I want to start this post by saying I love metal. So don't get off thinking I'm anti-metal or anything, lol.

Anyway, while metal might be a bottomless pit its mostly because there's tons of generic bands ripping exactly the same sound off without any real change. This isn't a bad thing because I listen to tons of bands that rip one another off in this way. Now as said earlier in this thread I know more about metal than other genres of music, but either way, it still seems to be bottomless because there's tons of one man black metal projects being recorded in a bathroom or whatever. Now, its crappy some of the time, no doubt. At the same time though you listen to it because its so much like other acts in the genre that you do join. Unfortunately in some aspects metals become an extremely stagnant genre.
