Okay, lets make a small time travel with mainstream forms of metal:
- 1970s: Led Zeppelin makes the worlds best song ever, the beatles breaks up because the PA systems arent sufficient enough, and the who invents "wall of sound" so the fuckers would hear them and black sabbath & co started to add heavy distortion to guitars and "heavy metal" was born. Punk borns in 1977 and gives heavy metal a push, but dies later because nobody fucking cared. Everyone thinks that this "heavy metal thing" will be a passing thing and just think about the Vietnam War.
- 1980s: The golden age of heavy metal and spandex. The technology made even heavier distortion possible, so getting the heavyness wasn't a problem anymore, add speed and technicality. Iron Maiden makes the second best song in the world and the most heavy metal hits in the along with Metallica. Punk turns into hardcore and some of the metalheads liked the speed, so they added those elements to their music and the more extreme forms of metal like power/death/thrash/black metal were born. Tommy Iommi started to tune down to C# and everyone else went after the same thing few years later.
- 1990s: Everyone got fed up with the eighties heavy metal and superlong songs and tried to avoid it like hell, almost all big name mainstream metalbands stop recording guitarsolos. Roadrunner gets a lions share of the metal market. Funkmetal freakshow Faith No More gives influence to Korn, that started to fuse down to drop A tuned metal guitars with hiphop, let Fred Durst loose with his cursing slippery tongue, that spawned numetal. Nine Inch Nails, Fear Factory and Rammstein introduces industrial rock/metal to the big crowds. Punk evolved into grunge and some Blink182 douches add popelements to punk.
- 2000s: Everyone got fed up with the cursing in numetal, numetal dies and gets replaced with metalcore from USA and those fuckers from In Flames who listen to Iron Maiden and stole their harmony licks created a melodeath in Sweden. Then the guys from Killswitch Engage listened to both NYHC and In Flames then mixed those two genres together and now everyone hates the result, but loves KsE. Guitar solos get back because everyone still loves Iron Maiden and kids start to "play" the songs Guitar Hero on their Playstations and thinking they wouldn't epic fail with a real guitar. Lordi wins Eurovision songcontest with a fucking record landslide, grindcore veteran Rotten Sound rises to the Finnish charts top 10 and Disturbed turns huge for some fucking unknown reason. No-one knows why-y-y-ay. Grunge evolves into AOR, and pop-punk evolves into emo, that everyone publicly hates but still secrectly listens to in their closets while fingering their mangina with their thumb. Those who still listened to "real fucking broootal ug-metal" started to listen bands like Meshuggah that did some unlistenable jazz shit in 4/4 timing and 8 string guitars thru mild distortion.
- 2010s: Everyone... what now? What will be the next big thing? If you ask me, it will be something that combines some new genre with metal. I hope it will be jungle or something other, cause thats pretty fucking sweet. Think a bands like Prodigy or Pendulum as a metalband.
