It's great to see how this genre with so much representation has evolved and continues to evolve. Hip hop is a fantastic genre that is the expression of a people who have been oppressed for a long time. It's great to talk about it.

I love metal and I've written about the main milestones and changes that this style has gone through. I believe that currently (since I didn't put it on the timeline) metal is at a point where tik tok and social networks serve as great support for independent artists, which ends up giving us hope for the genre. I still see heavy metal weakening, but I hope things can change.
