    Metal did not die in the 90's... people's taste in music did.
  • @alejandror7687
    Type 0 Negative, Danzig, Morbid Angel, Emperor, Carcass, Dissection, Suffocation, Pantera, Fear Factory, Satyricon, Strapping Young Lad, Paradise Lost, Blind Guardian, Samael... Those were the 90s: the peak of creativity in metal, rules were broken and new sounds were invented
  • @Porous_Dawg
    I find the 90s to be one of the most creative periods for metal. Death, Black, Doom, Power, Gothic, Prog, etc. So much good stuff came from that decade.
  • @engelbeer
    Extreme metal was the King during the 90's. No one cared about mainstream bands, but death and Black metal were a huge underground thing
  • @aleks83542
    Death was probably one of the best bands from back in the 90s
  • Metal didn't die in the 90's but returned to it's rightful place in the underground where it continues to break new ground & innovate to this day.
  • @johnnsty
    I listen to everything from Poison to Venom. There is quality in every genre, from catchy vocals, riffs to brutal heavy styles. But I mainly stay in 80s when it comes to music. Respect to all metalheads, no matter where you are or what you listen to. Just keep on rockin! In my world, metal is very much alive.
  • @technoir-1984
    Metal could be dead in USA but in the rest of the world it's so alive! Edit: of course heavy metal are alive in USA. And I feel this when I listen to Municipal Waste or Toxic Holocaust. Metal in mainstream media is gone indeed but the underground keep going.
  • In the 90s Roadrunner drop almost all their death metal bands and started to sign only nu metal bands and Pantera copycats, but other labels like Nuclear Blast kept metal alive
  • We already had Cannibal Corpse, Deicide and Morbid Angel in the 90's
  • Soundgarden and Alice in Chains were more metal than a lot of metal bands
  • Never heard anyone describe Dimebag’s guitar tone as lifeless before..
  • @ti6414
    If metal genres became popular in the 90’s then metal didn’t die
  • @tajbaber9425
    "10 reasons metal went underground and thrived in the 90s " is a more accurate title.
  • Because radio stations would never play anything harder than metallica, Ozzy or Classic rock. Anything else would be just ordinary college rock.
  • Been a metal head since 1988. Didn’t know it died. Listen to metal to this day. It went underground. It didn’t die for a metal head maybe for the fair weather fans 🤷‍♂️
  • @Eirik_Bloodaxe
    Idk if Pantera killed anything. But I knew Phil Anselmo was into black metal. But seeing him in that Transylvanian Hunger shirt in a 90s photo, shows how truly plugged in to the underground he was. Because that’s like at the cusp of Black Metal.
  • @lordtrigon1733
    Nu Metal was a necessary progression from the Alternative Metal bands of the late 80’s-early 90’s. Whether you like it or not it opened the gates for an entire generation to Metal and deserves its spot in Metal history. These bands and Pantera didn’t kill Metal, they kept it relevant. Mainstream 90’s audiences weren’t looking for fantasy lyrics they wanted reality and honesty from their frontmen. Gotta keep up with the times.
