Seriously, forks.
Sega vs. Nintendo > Xbox vs. Playstation
90s hardcore > today's hardcore
90s deathmetal > today's deathmetal
90s blackmetal > today's blackmetal
90s fashion > today's "fashoin"
90s cartoons > today's cartoons
And so on and so on and so on.
Also, 80s could be subbed for 90s 'cause the argument is also true.

y'all bitchez suffer from selective memory, rose tinted glasses, and the inability to re-map your perceptions of shit to see the awesomeness of now.
i loved the 90s too, but as an experiment i'm gonna rip the 90s and support now:
90s:
- no free music or movies from the internet
- limp bizkit, nu-metal
- spice girls
- nsync
- JNCOs
- basement screamo
- apex of vegan sXe hare krishna, etc. HC douches
- a gazillion bands like Kreator, Napalm Death, etc. all "updated" their sound and it was horrendous
- towards the end of the 90s, ex-hardcore kids playing in really cut-rate melodic swedish death metal bands
- ska/punk
THIS DECADE (or at least really recently)
- stuff like maryland deathfest, people finally into decent quality underground shit again (i.e. i can find people wearing, say, a Repulsion shirts or a "Scum" shirt or a Master t-shirt, try doing that at an underground show in the 1990s, it was all like fucking Cannibal Corpse or Suffocation t-shirts or if it was a more DIY kinda show it was whichever bands came through the most)
- blog upon blog upon blog to find underground shit
- access to underground music is completely democratized, there are no more barriers to exploring whatever tangent you want
- basically, the internet is amazing.... a lot of memes are the funniest shit to happen in a while... free movies, free info, you can learn anything
- computers are cheap as fukkkk
- traveling is easy as fukkkkk
- recording studio gear (i.e. software) is really accessible and cheap compared to back then

well, it's not like a band like BLASPHEMOPHAGER will ever be played on MTV or something..... if my Justin Bieber-loving neighbor wants to go and get their releases, she can in two clicks, but she won't. i feel "underground" shit is still underground and will always settle to the bottom in the underground.
remember back in the 80s and 90s, you had metallica filling stadiums, slayer was filling a bit less than that, megadeth, iron maiden.... and on the other hand you had the most underground shit ever like Mortuary Drape....

bullshit just that bad existed back then, we just didn't live in the hyper-informationally-blown-out-bizarro-internet-exposure-to-everything reality that the internet enables these days. in the 90s, your exposure to human trash like this would've been less.

I would argue the ratio of people who enjoy "underground" metal is the same, if not a tad more.. But there's a whole bunch of more fans today because of the younger generations. This has been quite noticable in the past 10 years or so. I guess metal will always be an "underground subculture" , but now it's much easier to get into it and hear of bands. The internet has changed a lot, for both good and bad.

I broke down in the middle of fucking nowhere in maybe 1994 and I had to walk really fucking far to use a phone, plus I only had enough change at the fucking payphone for one call, with no stores or people for fucking miles. So i called AAA but I couldn't even tell them exactly where the fuck I was because I didn't know nor could I pay for the fucking tow because I only had 10 bucks, no debit card, credit cards.
There isn't as much danger in going off somewhere unfamiliar with cellphones and gps. And I don't swear as much as I did in the 90's. Technology calms me in the worst of times.

Almost every different sound within metal was established by the late 90's. There have been very few new sounds/subgenres created since then.
Also I don't think harddcore/metalcore infected the melodic death metal scene until after Shadows Fall broke out around 1998-2000. Darkest Hour was 2000 I think. So I blame that cluster fuck on the 2000's.

I'm pretty sure all you have to do is spark it up and inhale, but I guess I could be wrong. It may be more complicated than that.
Seriously though, I think it may be due to the fact that when I was younger, it was harder to obtain so when I'd finally score some, it was very rewarding and the high was waaaay more euphoric and tripped out. Weed hasn't had that effect on me for years now. Obviously I get "high" but it's not the same as it once was.

Step 1. Go back to 1990's way of music distribution i.e. buy it, dub it, or gtfo. CD-Rs barely exist yet and it's not like you'd know what to do with them if they did. Make finding music on demand online virtually impossible. Choose between downloading enormous wav files of 10 seconds of a song, or using Real Player to stream playlists of "radio shows" that almost never update.
Step 2. Make purchasing new music a game of russian roulette where you're forced to rely on useless magazine reviews, word of mouth, and listening to music in your friend's Mustang LX. Accept an equal probability of any record you buy being awesome or terrible. Realize only later in life that magazine reviewers are too pussy to admit that newer Slayer and Machinehead records are fucking terrible. Prepare to get sold on bands like Pro-Pain, and Pissing Razors.
Step 3. Go the extra step and require anyone who wants to hear bands that don't have big label support to trade tapes, and write snail mail letters to bands with $3 tucked inside begging them to send you a demo and not steal your money.
Step 4. Watch the available population of people who claim to love music evaporate overnight like a Rapture for posers.
Step 5. Profit.
