    I agree but disagree. Just go to any genre that isn’t Pop/Country/K-Pop and look at the largest bands there.

    Many people that never listen to metal have heard of parkway drive, rammstein, disturbed, Lorna shore, bring me the horizon, etc.

    Last year gojira played during the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics. How is that not “not-main-mainstream”.

      Rammstein and Disturbed were founded in 1994, Gojira in 1996, way before music over internet became a big thing.

      I haven’t heard of the others.
