Metal trends go in approximately 7-8 year cycles. Ten years ago we had nu-metal coming up, and by 2000 dozens of rap-metal mooks roamed the planet. That trend has seen its day, and the current vogue in the metal scene is the combination of NWOBHM, thrash and hardcore affectionately known as “metalcore” (read Dallas Coyle’s thoughts on the subject). 2008 might be the peak of that trend; so what’s next? There are certainly a few options of underground metal scenes bubbling at the moment; which one is going to catch on and spawn hordes of bad imitators?

What’s the next annoying trend in metal?
