  1. Well, there is Nightwish and the likes and there is TNBM (and lots of things in between). Despite I mostly stopped listening to metal long time ago, I still can enjoy some of what you call "commercial metal" while the attempts to make the most extreme (harsh, noisy, chaotic, poorly recorded and produced) music for the sake of staying underground mostly sound laughable to me. Frankly I can say the same thing about some darkpsy, forest and goa.

    I wouldn't call Nightwish commercial. For me commercial is something you could listen in a mainstream radio station.

    I meant stuff like Evanescence or HIM.

  2. I don't care how much commercial it is as long is good.

    Unfortunately underground music genres tend to lose their characteristics when they go mainstream.

    For example commercial psytrance doesn't sound crazy at all because the mainstream audience don't like crazy music. That's why something like Psychopod would never be as popular as 1200 Mics.

    That's the same with every genre. Compare underground metal with commercial metal. Or hip hop. Or dubstep. Even pop.
