While all the different types of metal were created, only a few were in the commercial light. Thrash, power and classic heavy metal. I mean Megadeth toured with priest, Alice cooper, maiden, aerosmith... Metallica toured with Queensryche. Shared fans...
Most of the gernes you mentioned like Doom, grindcore, black and death were created in the 80s...but did not get to their commercial and critical peak until 90s...even 2000's.
I mean Carcass's best work was in 1994 and they are one of the major bands credited for establishing grindcore.
