First of all, metal doesn't have to be popular to be good, and definitely doesn't have to in order to be relevant, and not only that, the resurgence of thrash is still in its foetal stages. You have to remember, the popularity of bands like Metallica and Slayer was YEARS in the making. It'll come, and if one can call bands like Lamb Of God thrash, then arguably that popularity already has.
