Additionally, I compared their google trends and, while Slipknot does seem to get more traction on their new releases, Bon Jovi seems to trend a bit higher.

That's no knock on Slipknot, they are doing extremely well for the genre they're in. But Bon Jovi still occupies a larger piece of mainstream (due to their music being more suitable to masses), even if it's much lower than it used to be. |
I guess I meant within the sphere of rock and metal, not pop culture as a whole. I always forget quite how much songs like Prayer still permeate culture. The reason I referenced Slipknot is that the music they release now is still widely acclaimed and relevant, however clearly not to the extent that it surpasses bands like BJ even now.
