i don’t mean to be harsh, but this metal sound was around in the 70s already

when i was a kid in the 60s, american popular music over thirty years old at that time would have been from before benny goodman

why has american popular music stopped evolving?

I think most of the blame would come from the record studios. From Elvis, the Brit invasion bands the record labels learned that there’s a lot of money to be made. A few companies ended up with a monopoly on distribution and radio play. Eventually they started producing stuff by formula and music acts were manufactured with a target demographic in mind. I think we’ll see a lot of evolution over the next decade or so as the old system falls apart.
