I never grew into it.

Still havent grown out of it.  Like to listen to it on occasion.  Especially the live shows. Nothing better than getting a bloody lip filming a mosh pit.

Grew out about...6 years ago? Maybe 7. Actually getting back into it. Really missed it as a 'genre'. 
 
So much quality Metal being released now-a-days. It's almost as hard to keep up with as good Electronic music.

I'll be 41 in a few months, still haven't outgrown metal! That said, I'm more of an old school metal fan (Sabbath, Metallica, Motorhead, etc...).

I'd have to say I grew back into it. I sort of liked the heavier stuff in high school (hair bands, grunge, etc), but didn't really have access to much more in small-town Iowa. In college I spent a lot of time "chilling" and listening to more trip-hop and electronic, but after that I realized it wasn't really my favorite normally. I started getting back to the heavier stuff and eventually grew to like a wide range of metal, and now it's pretty much all I listen to. I'm 37.

As far as the new Black Sabbath, I will be doubly-thrilled if that article is accurate in its characterization of both the music and the mix. Musically BS and Paranoid are just awesome, but I also love how they sound. Paranoid on headphones is awesome - it's easy to pick out each instrument both sonically and spatially. And Black Sabbath (sans title song) almost sounds like a really well-mixed live album.

When the singers started screaming instead of singing. I still listen to the old stuff, though, and I suspect I always will.

Didn't think there is a need to "grow out" of metal.

For some reason I am reminded of this scene.

Never really grew out of it.  Listened to a lot of the "Pop-Metal" bands in the 80s and 90s, fell off for a bit, but got back into it recently with a lot of European Power Metal.  No reason to grow out of it in my mind.  Don't like some of it, but I still love what sounds good to me.

i never grew out of metal... rather grew out of music. My hobby of headphones is pushing me back into musical habits. Doom metal is my favourite, but there is so little classy stuff in metal nowadays, i have to look to older bands again and again.
