It's not just metal but all music. The digital revolution is universally deflating the sense of wonder and accomplishment that comes from obtaining a new album. Nothing's forcing you to squeeze the maximum appreciation out of that new album you just got because there's another one a few clicks away. You also get overloaded by the music. Take one band and you can probably find several more that sound like it. The mystique is a bit lost then. There are benefits though. There's a lot more crosstalk between genres and a lot of new cool sounds are coming out of it.
