I would if I could, and i think we both understand why. what you describe as yourself is &quot;fashion metal listener&quot; to me, unfortunately probably most popular type, especially in late &#x27;90s&#x2F;early &#x27;00s.<p>what many of us are is deeper - in hard rock &amp; heavy metal I found something that works with me, makes me happy etc. The genre itself is slowly evolving, but this is not something I care for - I listen it for same reasons as before, and expect same effect as before... which is delivered, 110%.<p>if I pick 1 out of gazillions of bands - Iron Maiden - take their album from 80s, take any recent and compare. Technical quality aside (which went from stone age to 21st century) - some say not as good as before, some say better, for me - same quality, delivered in a bit different way.
