I agree that we will probably see something like the end of the 80s. Speed metal and such took the back seat to the simplicity of the Grunge movement. The ground that is being stepped on is by no means new, or original, just a refocus of influence, as gradual increase in technicality, and then a peak. The difference was in the 80s, the technicality made fair sized waves, where now it is a artifact, so small as to not really make a splash.
This is what I love about this forum: "This band that I like that doesn't seem to exist outside this forum, or niche metal focused communities, should be so much bigger than they are." So much of what is listened to here (an audience which I do not include myself), is completely unknown in the outside world, but that doesn't warrant an entitlement to greater fame, but instead puts things into a proper perspective. People aren't interesting.
After the Burial was on Warped Tour so this is a bad example actually.
