Yes I would tend to agree, some of the crossover thrash bands like Toxic Holocaust & Short Sharp Shock were really good though.
But the straight up thrash bands like Evile & Warbringer didn't seem to have the talent of the big 4.

I do feel however my point about genres crossing over is worth exploring?

I actually did respond to your post, you just missed it. I liked your point on how each new generation feels the need to make sure their music is different from their parents, thus it appeared that the decline of musical genres seemed inevitable.
I guess that is true about prog rock, to be honest it's one genre I know nothing about, basically because it puts me to sleep. If you could map out when it started to ascend, peak and then crash, that would be awesome?

It's only in recent years ive taken an interest in the New wave movement of the 80's im more familiar with the grunge movement of the 90's.

A lot of people have labeled The Strokes & Interpol as part of a "new wave revival" but I would disagree as well, though the influence was definitely in their music.
New Wave essentials, U2, The Police, Blondie, the Eurthymics, Duran Duran, Men at Work, The Bangles & any new wave hits from 81 to 84. By the mid late 80's new wave starts to become over sophisticated & commercialized & thus was eventually given the boot.
