Bring Me The Horizon's lack of 2025 Grammy Nomination

can we talk about the absence of a bring me the horizon nomination at the 2025 Grammys? why was post human: nex gen not nominated for any of the alternative music awards this year? that album was released at the right time to be nominated for this year's grammy awards yes it wasn't. as a bmth fan I am not trying to glaze here but that album was so good. i cannot begin to explain how meaningful that album was not only to bmth fans but to the alternative scene on it's own. the album itself is so well made and the production was a 10/10 oli sounds amazing and the features are too good. it not only brings back a little bit of their old heavier sound but mixes it with pop elements to make a perfect fusion and balance of the two yet it still brings that older vibe which I know at least for me I was very satisfied with as a fan of their older heavier music. the evolution of bmth itself  is absolutely insane the way they can do any genre and still succeed and put out great music. so where was their nomination for best alt rock album or even song?? Kool-aid could have easily been nominated and I say kool-aid because it def was the biggest song to come out of this album. and behind the album itself it was a genuine beautiful work of art. the music videos and the concepts behind them along with the lore was well thought out and perfectly executed. it was carefully crafted. it deserves much more appreciation. and it is not like bmth is not a popular enough band, they have topped charts before and not just alt charts but billboard 200 charts coming in first and second multiple times with multiple different albums so you cannot tell me that they were not as big as people who were nominated (and won) like spiritbox and gojira. after a Google search on why they weren't nominated I got this response:"it might not have been considered commercially or critically significant enough by the Recording Academy voters in the relevant categories, potentially due to it's genre (metalcore) not always receiving widespread recognition at the Grammys". how on earth was it not relevant for those categories?? sure it was not one of the most talked about albums of the entire year but it it's own alternative scene it was pretty big. and isnt the point of having alt rock categories to shine light on genres that aren't widespread or mainstream?? it IS the alternative compared to the mainstream. the category is supposed to shed light on ALTERNATIVE sub genres like metal core.
