Melodic death metal grew always more popular in the late 90's, until it exploded in the mainstream in the 2000's with the american take on it, metalcore (the post-hardcore element is real important). Anyway, yeah I did notice that since really not long ago, maybe 2-3 years, bands like Asking Alexandria and Abandon All Ships started to pop up, with gayass electronics in it. Keyboards were there since way before, but I actually didn't mind them. But yes, I miss true talent and passion, definitely.
