Extreme music becomes more popular worldwide

[Blue Hawk]

Recent Kreator album 'Gods of Violence' (2017) for the first time topped German charts and peaked at #118 on Billboard 200 ( that's quite good, none of Kreator 1980s-2000s albums entered Billboard 200 ). 'Pleasure to Kill' (1986) for the first time entered German charts after 31 years of it's release. That's quite impressive.

I'll wait until ''extreme music'' stops being synonimous with ''extreme metal'' music before I start to celebrate.

if “extreme” music becomes popular will it still be extreme

Yes, because it's still in the realm of extreme on the scale of music that has been released?

do you really think there wouldn't then be a backlash against against "popular" extreme music

like if it's popular i'm assuming it's becoming accessible to more listeners and therefore you're going to have a certain subset of people striving to make it more extreme than ever

you can use certain genres of metal or punk to show how that's happened before.

for every entry level hardcore band there's two or three trying to give you some of the nastiest dirtiest **** you ever dun heard

There's a limit though. And the early stuff is still extreme relatively speaking. Either way extremity has no bearing on how good a band is. When Jawbox sold out they made their best album. And sometimes pretty extreme stuff suddenly gets accepted by the mainstream for no appearant reason even though normally they think a pop punk distortion guitar is heavy.
