    Metal. Actual heavy metal. Not eyeliner and painted nails metal. I guess it was never really mainstream so maybe not a resurgence.

      If you have some examples, I might have some recommendations. Mainstream popularity is a weird thing now as there are more listeners for every genre. Metal is where I have spent most of my life being a fan so I may have something in the bank you’d like.

      I thought metal was more popular than ever. Maybe my perception is skewed because I’ve been going to plenty of metal festivals in recent years, but all the subgenres have representation from what I can see.

        I think metal’s still going strong, but OP said heavy metal. If they meant classic heavy metal, there’s not many new artists doing that.
