but the fact that the musical genre is currently experiencing a decline under the "pressure" of more popular rap, hip-hop, and R'n'B is a disheartening fact for fans of heavy music.
What does "under pressure" mean? :) They exist parallel to each other without interfering.
newfangled mixes of metal with rap, etc.
What kind of garbage is that? :mad:
the 70s-90s?
Slipknot, Disturbed, Lacuna Coil, etc., also belong here, right? :)
In any case, if metal stops being produced, and all this modern stuff dominates, you can always listen to something from your old playlist :) It's unlikely that a person will get tired of "his" metal in 40 years :)

How many of them appeared in the 70s and 90s?
Apparently, the point was that many bands appeared during that time. The question was about popular bands formed after 2000.
What do you mean by "pressure"? They exist parallel to each other without interfering.
Any nonsense like rap and hip-hop (not to mention pop) fills the TV and radio, for example, meaning there are more opportunities to hear it and become interested in it, and therefore fewer opportunities for metal. We are not threatened by an invasion of these genres, but I am not sure about the next generation if they see all sorts of rappers, etc. on TV from childhood.
What is this garbage?
Here, let's not go there. Rap and other similar genres in their pure form are, in my opinion, nonsense, but when mixed with metal, it turns out quite well. In my library, LP, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, etc. coexist peacefully. One does not interfere with the other.

Well, as I understand it, you don't like the "mix of metal with rap, etc." But before, there wasn't such a thing, because there wasn't rap either. And then rap appeared, and it became very popular and remains so to this day, which is why it turned out to be a good idea to combine heavy music with rapping. Rap and its related genres appeared, gained popularity, but people didn't start listening to more music, which means that someone is losing popularity. And that's how rock is being pushed off the pedestal by new musical trends. This is like a natural phenomenon in music. Rock and metal in particular will continue to exist, just not in the same quantities.
And there will always be metal listeners, just as you can still find people who listen to the works of great composers, in other words, the classics (there are quite a few of them, in my opinion), you can also find people who listen to jazz, which was also very popular before.
Slipknot, Disturbed, Lacuna Coil, etc., also belong here, right?
And in what year did they achieve worldwide fame? And how long did it take them to do so? :)

I myself listened to all sorts of nonsense until I was 11-12 years old, and then my cousins got me into metal:) Although, at the same time with this "nonsense" I listened to Lordi, so I already had a love for metal back then :)
And in what year did they gain worldwide fame?
And what does that have to do with it? You yourself said "And how many of them appeared in the 70s-90s?". :) Well, for your information, Slipknot in 1999-2000 :)
And how much time did it take them for that?
One studio album :smile04: By the way, Bullet for My Valentine is a good example of a "very popular band of the 21st century" :)
P.S. Popularity doesn't necessarily mean quality. Don't judge a band by its cover :D

Well, TV and radio are still taking a backseat, giving way to PCs and laptops. That is, the internet is next, and there you can download whatever you like. And in general, what they see on TV depends on the channel, so it's all, in my opinion, a matter of taste, and it's not worth lumping everything together.
Now it's just a different era, a different trend. And that's why rap and hip hop are more popular because of their popularity; we shouldn't forget that everything is now adapted for the masses, and music is no exception.

I'll write what I wrote to Vir yesterday on AIM. If we exclude alternative and nu-metal, then there weren't really any well-known bands, but on the other hand, not all the well-known bands from the 70s and 80s became famous in the first 5-6 years. For example, in the early 90s, many great and now well-known bands started.
Okay, for reference, Slipknot in 1999-2000.
In '99, their self-titled album was released, after which they gained worldwide fame, but they were performing even before that. ps Tokyo Hotel is not metal.

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:Maggot
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:

By the way, probably some Technical Progressive Industrial Death Metal.
Or, simply put, post-metal.

Right now, everything that could be mixed with something else has been mixed, and there's nowhere else to go. In my opinion, no new directions are emerging; nu-metal was the last decent genre, and even it seems to have faded away by now. And bands that are just clones of what already exists are unlikely to become very popular.
Metal is actually still alive. It’s just that its heyday is over: there are many genres, many bands, many albums – that’s how it happens with all styles and genres.
