Is metal the biggest bottomless pit in the history of music?
I've been a metalhead for three decades and still the deeper I dig into the genre the more I realise it just goes on forever and ever. I'm sure it's in part because I have a predisposition to the genre but it seems more than any other genre even crappy bands can still be really good and fun to listen to. And it seems like every country in the world produces at least some quality metal. Whether it's mainstream or super deviant and obscure doesn't even matter to me.
Crappy metal forever!!! |

Who knows, because where does the bottomless pit end? If you take any musical genre you could pretty much apply that statement to it, you could keep digging into any major genre and still find great music. Whether metal is the biggest bottomless pit in the history of music or not is impossible to answer, it could be electronica or folk music for all we know.

Genres are only bottomless pits because theoretically people will continue making music that falls under their stylistic boundaries forever. If tomorrow making metal music suddenly became illegal, then it would no longer be bottomless. And seeing as it's been around about - what, 50 years at the most? Whereas genres like jazz, folk and rock have been active for so much longer and continually release just as much worthwhile material. The biggest bottomless pits lie in the genres that have been established the longest, and are still filled with ingenious thought. Jazz would probably be my number one stop (and let's just forget that Kenny G and his disciples even exist, as they are not jazz). |

Just for the record, over the last fifteen years I've spent a lot more time listening to free jazz than to metal. |

Jazz is the most strongly accumulative genre around. Just if straight Jazz doesn't have any blatant mainstream figures it doesn't mean the evolutions simply in it's integrations in helping music evolve are not significant. |
