Record sales and stuff yes. Just read an article about rap record sales in 2014 being down ~24%. I just feel like it's so heavily incorporated in Pop music to the point where they are practically the same genre, which kind of blurs the reality of it's success.

Rap is finally dying down? Phew, I was getting tired of growing up with everyone around me listening to that.

Nah, metal's peaked. People will always want to hear extreme forms of music, so I doubt it'll ever truly "die", but the original purpose of metal (being louder than all the music which had come before) was fulfilled with the creation of death metal, grindcore, and 2nd wave black metal. Now, great music is made for the most part by singular, experimental bands, putting new spins on pre-existing sub-genres, with only a few small scenes forming around any one sound. Other than that, you just have throwback bands playing the same thrash, black, death, trad, etc metal which other bands already pioneered decades ago. Quote:
Lost interest in about two months, when I realized it was nothing more than 3rd rate Nuclear Assault worship, kept from any kind of real sonic threat by self-consciously retro schtick. The "thrash revival" is one of the worst jokes in the entirety of metal history. Post-"Home Sweet Home" hair metal had more creative worth.

I do feel however my point about genres crossing over is worth exploring?

But the straight up thrash bands like Evile & Warbringer didn't seem to have the talent of the big 4. Quote:
I guess that is true about prog rock, to be honest it's one genre I know nothing about, basically because it puts me to sleep. If you could map out when it started to ascend, peak and then crash, that would be awesome? Quote:
New Wave essentials, U2, The Police, Blondie, the Eurthymics, Duran Duran, Men at Work, The Bangles & any new wave hits from 81 to 84. By the mid late 80's new wave starts to become over sophisticated & commercialized & thus was eventually given the boot. |
