I fell a lot of anger in your post AXL
I see myself in your words. I too felt that way when I was into Metallica and saw all the others listening the The Cure and bands like that.
Then Metallica put there Black album on the market and I started to feel angry about them and said they were sell-outs.
I realized a couple of years after that everything had a place I that I could not change it. Metallica needed a change in their style of music, I had to live with it.
I let that anger out and that was the end of it. Live and let live...
I get your point but don't let anger take over, you seem the cary a load of unecessary anger. Learn to accept things you can't change and work on those you can. Wow, am I turning into a monk or something :)
Take care man
