Phew, it seems like I'm not the only one who is being irritated by this. Reading the 'Swans' thread was a living hell.

Even Trollheart appreciates Panopticon so congrats on being even less in touch than Trollheart, Chula. Just read the wiki article if you're curious, it's all very simple. Lord, this thread is embarrassing
Ooh! A backhanded compliment from Engine! Seriously, I think/hope I'm trying to expand my metal horizons a little with Metal Month. I have already come more into the likes of subgenres I would never touch and would revile and ridicule (Black/Death/Stoner etc) and am doing my best to give them a fair hearing. Some of the music however just will never appeal to me. Panopticon was indeed a hell of a surprise, as was Draconian and a few others. I'm taking baby steps, at fifty-two years old....

Embarrasing? There's some hard core fans around this place. Figured I'd ask their opinion rather than solely rely on wiki.

...the point being, black metal didn't turn the metal world upside down in a short period of time. It did so over a really, really long period of time, and largely for reasons besides Church burning/killing queens.

Not sure what point those links are making. Are you equating popularity with popularity outside the metal sub-culture?

Then I guess so, but I question whether black metal is any more popular now in any real sense, since I imagine most of the new "fans" are just tourists, soon to abandon the "new" trend when they get bored. I have a hard time believing NPR or Rolling Stone are going to stay interested in black metal in the long term.

In this way metal fans are not dissimilar to the mainstream; the interest in any particular subgenre is fleeting. Today the favored subgenre is Black Metal; tomorrow, who knows, maybe we'll see a revival of interest in Robotic Empire's output?
