Music just runs in cycles like everything else and those cycles tend to overlap. Eventually it will come full circle again.
Imo todays nu-metal is a mashing together of 80's hard rock and grunge of the 90's.
Alot of people blame the downfall of 80's metal to Nirvana, i know alot of people will disagree with me but if you want my honest opinion about who brought about the change to what we have now look no further then Guns n Roses. They are the ones who bridged the gap between 80's metal and the seattle sound. Take a long listen to Guns n Roses and you will hear it.
Of course thats my opinion.
On another note most heavy metal that is good never got air play in their prime unless you listend to college radio stations.
Real good metal is always fringe with a tight nit following of hardcore fans.
