Is metal dead?

Auto-translated
Actually, my point is that in the past, there were more good and high-quality bands emerging than there are now. Plus, it's not enough for a band to just appear; it needs to become popular. Ah, yes, I'll quote Maggot:

P.S. Popularity doesn't necessarily indicate quality.
Absolutely. But a popular band has far more fans than an unpopular one. And among those fans, there will inevitably be those who start to emulate their idols. Among the emulators, there will certainly be people who are just as talented as the objects of their emulation. The question is, how many of them will there be.

The peak of metal's popularity seems to have already passed. Moreover, there wasn't just one peak (remember the new wave of British heavy metal). Who knows, maybe in the future...:rolleyes:
O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.
