The same happened in the late 80's with hundreds of Thrash bands that sounded the same. I have been listening to metal for over 20 years and only one or two new bands a year actually float my boat in terms of individuality or prowess.

Maybe you should delve back into older metal and maybe you might find a few gems and start commenting on them.
