My question is is what metal they consider good metal. You've got Thrash, Prog, Hair, the Cores, Death, etc... What bands are we talking? Pantera, Slayer, Metallica, Def Leopard, Disturbed, A Day to Remember,
etc...? Metal like all things isn't just one thing. What's popular then may not be nearly as popular now but I guarantee you their are bands out there that play songs similar to your taste.
Mainstream labels are pushing a formula that sells. If you don't like new metal, I can conclude one of three things:
1) You're and oldshcool fan, which is fine
2) You've lost your taste for metal
Or 3) You aren't digging deep enough, or haven't dug at all for good, modern metal.

The metal will live on!
