>Personal anecdote, but it's nice to see the growing maturity of the Indian audience - no one in my circle of friends and family is complaining that big names such as Linkin Park, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay et al. and rock/metal biggies (Slipknot/Dream Theater/Pantera et al.) are missing. Growing tastes, perhaps?

Or merely a circle of friends totally unrepresentative of mainstream Indian tastes?

More likely. Or they're listening to the Indian equivalents :)

OP, mainstream music is just that, mainstream, it's watered down precisely because most people like watered down music ;)

Slipknot, Dream Theater and Pantera are watered down? What?

And say what you will about their respective musical value, they’re not the top sellers/streamers for their genres in a way that merits comparison to Ed Sheeran.
