Part of the problem with the Grammies is the fact that nobody really markets new mainstream music to adults anymore and that's why stuck between metal bands that released their best material more than 30 years ago, and tripe aimed at 14 year-olds. You don't have this problem with TV shows and movies because those…

Why? Some Kind of Monster was simply Metallica milking the reality TV craze.

It's seems to be more of an American metal thing which is more masculine, adolescent, and blue collar. It's anti-authority, but the authority tends to be intellectualism and things your parents or teacher would tell you not to do. When really repelled me about metal culture was how tribal and conservative their…
