I don't think metal should be divided by time. I think it should simply be "extreme" and "traditional." Extreme metal meaning grindcore, black metal, death metal, thrash metal, and death/funeral/drone doom and any other ridiculous metal subgnres that are extreme that i missed. Traditional metal would just consist of the classic metal bands i.e Priest, Maiden, Sabbath, and then the traditional doom metal bands like Trouble. Dividing metal by time would cause the 80s to have Maiden competing with Death which really just doesn't sound right.
