I know there's been some mention and discussion about how thrash is, for various reasons, getting a lot of attention again. But it seems to be getting fairly ridiculous. See anecdote:
So I'm the record store not too far from me house, and as a whole they're not a bad place. I usually like to scour the used section (it's where I picked up Sabbat "Karisma" et al.) and the girl I always see working the counter is the usual pseudo-punk, heavily emo-d out bright red-and-black speckled hair lameness. And now, somehow, she's into thrash. And I know this isn't some hidden musical taste on her part. The employees always put up a list of "Current Playlists" and hers have consistently been just shitfest in descending colonic order. And her most recent list? Slayer, Dekapitator, Motorhead, and Municipal Waste.
What is cause? How did mallcore audiences suddenly lash onto thrash? Was it Shadows Fall dropping nods towards Slayer and Metallica, the whole "Get Thrashed" movie which has only been shown in four theatres and will likely never make it to DVD?
