hair metal

Hair metal, also known as glam metal, is a subgenre of rock music that emerged in the 1980s, characterized by its flashy style and anthemic sound. Bands like Mötley Crüe, Poison, and Bon Jovi combined hard rock music with pop melodies, often featuring heavy guitar riffs and catchy choruses. The aesthetic included long, elaborate hairstyles, flashy clothing, and a focus on a glamorous lifestyle. Hair metal thrived on themes of love, partying, and rebellion, and it gained popularity through music videos on MTV. Its influence declined in the early 1990s with the rise of grunge and alternative rock.
