This isn't miles away from how I am NOW
Though I'm only half that old, technically! Given that I've been listening to Metal in one form or another for over 25 years, I think it is well beyond a fad. To me, there is an almost timeless quality about Metal. I still listen to Killers, Melissa, Hell Awaits, Scream Bloody Gore, Pleasure to Kill, etc. and it NEVER sounds dated to me, despite, in some cases, being twenty or more years old already! As others have noted, I can never see myself not listening to Metal.

I've noticed that some of those 20 year old releases have actually improved with time. However Maiden has not aged well.

In 50+ years I honestly see metal in the position that jazz music is today. It will be respected as an artform, and will be popular, yet not completely commericialized. It will always hover under the radar of the mainstream, while still retatining a large fanbase....
Perhaps metal has already reached this point?

powerslave and the first album have aged very well (mabey not aces high or 2 mtm but i never liked them) killers still rocks too.

I have had many an argument with people over the sometimes abysmal production of latter-day Black Metal, etc. To me there is nothing intrinsically 'evil' or 'grim' about complete noise! Thus, I like to drag out some classic 80's thrash or such and compare/contrast how powerful and brutal that music was...and they sure as hell weren't working with big budgets, etc. It does improve with age, and IMHO blows a lot of what is called "extreme" today away.
Classic Maiden still always works for me, but I can see what you mean in a way. Then again, I barely made it through Powerslave before I seriously lost interest in Maiden and moved on to faster, uglier and heavier things.

I think this is a good point of view, although I think the "devil music" thing will never allow metal to be respected as much as Jazz.

Yeah, plus the way in which the two genres came about were very different, and so are their histories... And I don't know of many murders and hate crimes performed within any jazz community,do you?

Give me some examples, I don't remember every hearing anything.
And I don't remember Jazz every being particularly controversial, other than the fact Black men were the forerunners of it.

Pfft. Jazz was pure evil to everyone's parents in the early 1900s, same as rock or heavy metal or rap were later down the line. The old dixieland sound was considered substantially boisterous by many at one point. Then there's the drug use associated with much of the scene later on (e.g. Coltrane). The word "jazz" was actually used as slang for sexual acts at one point. If you've still got grandparents who are alive and playing with a full deck, you should ask them about it some time.
