How?
How would a band like Mr. Bungle save the music industry? Certainly not by sales, because they're one of the least accessible bands ever. Not by music...because they're one of the least accessible bands ever.
I don't particularly care about the "industry", I care about the music I enjoy. I can listen to Mr. Bungle any time, so them not being around isn't a bummer to me.
Mainstream culture, as far as music goes, IS at a noticeable low. So what? I don't care.
I just don't think you thought that comment through.
It's like people who said Watchmen was a good movie adaptation because most movies are shit. Why? It didn't make mainstream movies better, didn't make the book better, but all it gave us was a load of try-hard posers.

Cross is definitely a great, solid album, love Justice.
Waters Of Nazareth IMO is arguably one of the most revolutionary track of the 00's. It was the first track to bridge the gap between Electro-House and epic Indie Rock. I think the infant Heavy metal-Rave genre that will provide many of the Head banging classics of the next century.

I remember a few years back when all the metalcore bands were saying "Nu metal sucks! It's all commercialized and shit!", you name it. But then they ended up in the same boat. I'll bet the next set of trend setters will say metalcore sucks. I still find Alive or Just Breathing-era Killswitch listenable and the same with pre-Threads of Life Shadows Fall but what they've done since then doesn't interest me.
While I don't keep up with the mainstream, I don't let it get to me. There's plenty of music from the past few decades I missed out on and it's been fun searching those years.

Dude, every genre does that. It's not anything new. I personally enjoy metalcore though

So you're basically admitting that the music you listen to is dictated by what people say you should listen to?
The fact that you don't even spell one of the band's names correctly suggests you don't even listen to the music or have any interest in the bands beyond when you are around those people who dictate your taste to you.
Quite sad really.
I've really enjoyed the last 2 Abney Park albums. Lost Horizons and Aether Shanties. Actually they have released one more since then but I have yet to hear it.
Pretty much everything Emilie Autumn has released as well since the beginning of the decade.
Five cellars below and anatomy of reanimation by Blitzkid too.
