Metal has a similar problem to rap in that regard, that being the genre is very self-referential.
Almost every metal band has some stupid song like "Can't Kill Metal" or "Brothers of Metal" or some other shit with metal. We know you're a metal band you don't need to tell us every 5 seconds. I want a metal song, not a song about metal.
One thing I appreciated about the synthwave scene is how tight-knit, welcoming, and chill it was, probably due to massive crossover appeal in its heyday
