Well a general tendency over here is to listen to metal music which is not commercial (going to a friends house, there is a big chance I don't know 80% of the bands he listens to). I am a big fan of Disturbed, but I don't know anyone listening to A7X and the like. I like some American Bands (As I Lay Dying, August Burns Red, Disturbed...) or Canadian (The Agonist) but most of the bands people listen over here are from Scandinavia, Germany, Italy etc.

It's not only Metal either, there is a big scene dark scene, industrial, goa etc. ^^
