like if it's popular i'm assuming it's becoming accessible to more listeners and therefore you're going to have a certain subset of people striving to make it more extreme than ever
you can use certain genres of metal or punk to show how that's happened before.
for every entry level hardcore band there's two or three trying to give you some of the nastiest dirtiest **** you ever dun heard

There's a limit though. And the early stuff is still extreme relatively speaking. Either way extremity has no bearing on how good a band is. When Jawbox sold out they made their best album. And sometimes pretty extreme stuff suddenly gets accepted by the mainstream for no appearant reason even though normally they think a pop punk distortion guitar is heavy.
