I understand where you're coming from Aril, both here and from other similar statements I've seen you make about the state of music. I would however argue that music continues to evolve, even extreme metals and I'd like to think there are bands coming up with new and interesting ways to incorporate various influences into something different and even exciting at times. IMHO there is almost always more bad than good happening at any given time, the good just makes an impression and sticks around and is what is most easily recalled when reminiscing about "the high point" in music that probably never existed because in real time there is always more garbage than good. Pigeonholing genres leads to discussions about who's true, who's legit, who's a poseur whatever. You can say punk died by 82, hardcore by 84, thrash in 89, death metal in 93, black metal in 95, so maybe the bands that are around when a label is made are the only legit representation of those labels but really all that happened is people were influenced by the shit that came before and have gone on to create something new based on that (as you state yourself). So yes Black Metal is and has been dead, but there are some great bands (even locally [Sarcomancy, Nachzehrer etc...] that take very clear cut Black Metal roots and create something that is unique and exciting and new and legitimate.
