I've decided these aren't subgenres or time periods, but attitudes that can be rediscovered in any time. You could do it now, even.
After years of trying, I'm going to just admit that I don't want to listen to anything but art created in this spirit. It's all that interests me (outside of classical/Baroque/romantic/Modern music, which is 80% or more of my listening). I don't want to talk about metalcore, emo, nu-punk, nu-metal, punk rock, and all those recent creations.
I want to talk about the stuff that got away from what all sounds the same to me, the rock and roll and punk and bounce metal hordes, because they seem to be saying the same thing: it's all about you. Death metal and black metal of the underground were scarier, because they said the opposite: life doesn't care about you, look at the big patterns like history and philosophy and DEATH and natural selection.
I <3 the old school.
