Yeah I think I just don't dig deviating from my own invented definition for 'extreme' haha. It's too ingrained.

But, if I were to do so, I'd have to say extreme metal isn't boring now, nor has it ever been. If anything, the black and death bands have definitely gotten more creative and it's a genre that keeps seeing more and more growth with more and more experimentation. Today's bands are a far cry from the **** I used to listen to.
