It's popularity plummeted along with most other
metal genres with the arrival of the very simple genre Grunge, which focused on talentless musicians who hadnt bothered to learn their instrument with the passion of shredders

It has been said that shredding is a very boring experience which focuses more on showing off than showing emotion, which is a description used only by
people who do not understand
guitar...It is a master class in how much energy and focus you should put into learning your instrument and should be admired not ridiculed...

Most recent shredders include
dragonforce guitarist Herman Li and the very plain rusty cooley
