The early 80s are when metal got to be really popular/diversified, yeah. I'm just saying that "neoclassical" metal bands a la Rising Force only began to emerge around the mid/late 80s.
It's all gonna be camp, I'm afraid. 80s metal was not about subtlety haha
The history of metal is interesting! To me, at least. Check out the Map of Metal sometime - it's basically Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music for metal.
I dunno how exactly metal and disco competed, if at all - I can't imagine there's much of a demographic overlap there? The unfortunate truth is that metal has overwhelmingly been a genre made by and for angry young white dudes. There are exceptions, of course, and the community has gotten more diverse/accepting in recent years, but it can still be pretty obnoxious.
