this is something that started out bad and got worse and worse over the decades until it reached the point where it is no longer ''listenable''

There is an opinion that glam metal isn't real genre, but it's impossible to deny that there was a huge number of bands in the 80s who played commercial party-time metal with melodic hard rock and AOR sensibilities. Glam metal is just a pop-punk analogue within a metal genre, a distinct, albeit broadly defined phenomenon which well deserves its own umbrella term. Some people prefer to call it commercial 80s hard rock, but to me it's even more strange to lump these glammy bands with real hard rock (defined by its blues rock backbone) bands such as Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith or AC/DC. Even though some "hair bands" were simply AC/DC rip-offs in disguise indeed. Lastly, this kind of music still gets too much hate, metalheads should stop being insecure about 80s "hair bands". Todays' symphonic/gothic metal bands are even less 'true metal' than those, and yet somehow metal purists don't care that much about them.

Glam metal was great at first but bands like Faster Pussycat ruined everything.

Isn't 1980's Glam Metal the exact same as 1980's Heavy Metal (or am I forgetting a few Heavy Metal bands of the 80s that are NOT 80s Glam Metal)? --> Re-freshen my memory please. 1980's Glam Metal = 1980's Hair Metal = 1980's Heavy Metal - or so it seems.

Holy fuck! the artist photo i saw just now is Celtic Frost? Are you kidding me? one of the greatest extreme metal bands in this gay page? no offence. CF may have one glam oriented album, but it's a mistake and i'm sure that Tom Warrior is regreting about Cold Lake. [2]
