Yes? It all really depends on the media you consume. Like, I love death metal and some of the most famous death metal bands everyone should know, like Deicide, Dying Fetus or Devourment are still not common knowledge to people that don't care about metal.

I agree.
Heh, I don''t know any of these bands and I do listen to metal. I just started listening yesterday to Mastodon because I stumbled on a Youtuber/guitar teacher when looking up some Alex Lifeson videos, and I learned Mastadon is already big for decades. I am ootl mostly these days not consuming media that much anymore.
Is that a new accessibility feature? Listening to Mastodon?
Heheh, my wife asked today, the website? No the band!
I haven't heard of devourment. I may have seen one or both of the first two live at some point though
