There was a time I couldnt go a day without seeing a BFMV or KSE shirt in the street, that hasnt been the case for a couple of years though and all the kids are wearing Megadeth shirts these days it seems (why I only notice Megadeth, I have no idea).

Excellent point on metalcore acting as a gateway for the mainstream to harsher vocals in music. Most people hear a scream or a growl and immediately are turned off, at least in my experiences.
