Does anyone listen to Heavy Metal / Hard Rock anymore? What demographic?

I used to hate this music because it was loud and well, hard. It was a bunch of screaming and electrical grating— And it was everywhere, even in Christian markets. There was probably no minimal age as to who listened to it—I remember my church youth group in the ‘80s it seemed twelve year olds were blasting it from boom boxes, as were teenagers and young adults playing volleyball. They used to say that if it was too loud, you’re too old.

Maybe I’m too old now but I don’t relate to anything later than the turn of the millennium except moderate contemporary music and soft rock of today. I am actually a Folk and Classical buff with a penchant for 60s and 70s folk music. But as long as its not too loud, I kinda like the Metal of the 1980s (I know it was intended to be played loud) (Can listen to ‘70s Disco as well).

My question is, who listens to the ‘80s style hard rock and heavy metal? Does someone have to remember it from decades ago to relate to it, or is it still part of today’s music?

Admittedly, I am not much into it, or was not, except now that the times have slipped into nostalgia, I have come to like it in small doses.
