Metal is to broad to describe the genre I'm talking about, and I simply don't know what else to call it. Most metal made recently has the attributes I listed, that's all.

Well, I can't agree that "most people" would consider that, but even if it is a majority, so what? "Most people" is not an authoritative source. There are plenty of "metal elite" sources.

I think I understand our problem. You don't think what you call recent metal has common attributes with what you call non-recent metal. Well, that's true. No problem there.

I'm just saying you're erroneously referring to them as metal and ignoring the existence of contemporary metal that indeed still does share all the common attributes that metal has.
