Erm...where did I mention lack of variety?

I said that I (key word there) miss the fact that the metal/rock scene was better in the late 80's early 90's than it is now.

And, personally speaking, there is never anyone touring that I want to see. The last gig I went to was Pearl Jam in 2009 (Ordinarily I would have been going tonight but financial and personal circumstances mean I can't.)

Truth be told, I'm being overly nostalgic

If I can play thought police for a minute - I think its less about music being available, or even good, and more about a cultural hegemony that favored the OP's own aesthetic appeal rather than have a cultural landscape that questions it, or makes it the minority.
