Since 80's metal is what I was sniping at, I'd say that metal in general (which would include extreme metal sub genres) has become more interesting during the 90's and forward.

I had to take a look at my CD collection and see how many 80's metal albums I even own at all, and it's slim pickings: Some Megadeth, Ozzy and Sabbath. Also two Sanctuary albums (that I never listen to), a couple Sacriliege albums and some Overkill. Motörhead to those who say they count as metal (which they don't). And that's it, out of about 900 CDs where lots of them are metal.

There's only a small amount of post-2000's metal bands that I actually like, most of those being from the new wave of thrash bands.

Oh, and for my unpopular opinion: There's several good nu metal bands, and Blue Cheer was the first metal band.
