Right on. But you know the grunge movement was like 6 years as opposed to hair metal's 10-12-13 years....but these tags irk me more than anything.
Hair Metal...I mean whatever MTV was playing wasn't called that until after grunge came out and years later.
We didn't call it that then...hell alot of it we didn't call metal. It was just rock and it looked good.
Fun party music/ hair metal or whatever had serious music as well and grunge had their share of a party going on and I'm sure they liked sex. I'm sure they had a few tunes.
At the end of the day though we have to remember that MTV, for it's time, ruined all kinds of genres. They really did.
Today we see that metal is still alive and kicking as well as grunge, folk, symphonic, party music...all of it.
None of it went away. It's just dictated as popular music by some crappy cable channel and making fans believe the hype and pit them against one another.
