Then I end up looking closer at what's really going on, musically speaking, and then that sort of sinks the ship for me.
Here's groove for you.

I agree that it's overrated but I wouldn't say that it's the most popular nor that it could be done away with. There are a lot of lame copycats but there's a lot of great stuff as well. I think that trad heavy metal is still the most popular tbh, unless you were to ask a younger crowd, then it might be death or black metal.

Ja, Thrash Metal is overrated. However "Crossover Thrash" is where it's at.

It's really not. You want to talk about a genre where all the bands sound the ****ing same then...

The dig is that I think power metal is pretty samey.

Now ask me how that can be true so that I can say "I'm glad you asked" and list a bunch of dope youtube embeds.
