Reading the NWOBHM wiki the Bruce Dickinson quote hits the bullseye.

    NWOBHM was a fiction, really, an invention of Geoff Barton and Sounds (music paper). It was a cunning ruse to boost circulation. Having said that, it did represent a lot of bands that were utterly ignored by the mainstream media. Because of that it became real and people got behind it

They could have just called it anymetal.

Just when you get the point where there really is a difference between hardcore and thrash metal, a wild Melvins appears and it seems you're to blame eh? Metal & electronic genres all confuse the hell out of me.
