I used to listen to NIN / Manson / Helmet / Snot / etc back in the 90s and early 2000s. I still enjoy them these days, but they're not the main things I listen to.
I suppose I listen to them less cos I'm not as angry as I was back then. Angry feelings made it easy to relate to angry music. I suspect autistic ppl might like NIN cos they relate to the pain and isolation on some level. Equally so, when I stopped having those feelings as much, the type of music I listened to also changed, as I related to different things now.
The same may apply to Trent and how his music changed before and after getting clean. His mindset changed, and as a result, so did his music. If (you) as the listener have not changed, while the artist does, it can create a disconnect between how you used to relate, and how you currently relate to the music.
I never really listened to Helmet much until a few years ago, but they've really grown on me. They remind me a bit of Snapcase.
