People can do whatever they want. I can't stand some of these bands but how can I begrudge them? Unearth worked their asses off for years to get in their position.

The big problem I've always had is that when the general public thinks of 'metal', they are only thinking of the Ozzfest-bred Icons they see on TV. Ask any random person about metal, they might know Maiden, Metallica, or Slayer, but they are most likely to say "You mean like that band Killswitch Engage?" or "Avenged Sevenfold?"

I guess it has always been this way to some degree, but for once I'd like someone to answer "Kreator" or "Vader". Never gonna happen.

Its the same shit as 20 years ago when the general public thought of Ratt and Poison when you said "metal"
Todays metalcore is just yesterdays glam metal.

Fuck the mainstream. Who cares what they think.
When the masses get turned on to something, its days are numbered.
Once something becomes a viable way to earn a living, it turns to shit.

Keep metal underground!
