Line 1: {{~~trope~~Useful Notes}} A subset of [[Heavy Metal]] popular mainly during [[The Eighties]], so called because of the tendencies of the musicians to sport [[Eighties Hair]]. Some bands accentuated this by wearing gender-neutral (at best) clothing and sometimes makeup as well. While none of this was actually originated by Hair Metal itself, the decade's emphasis on visual presentation has made the style synonymous with the term (which, today, is commonly used in a decidedly derisive tone). Line 12: Note: It may have fallen out of fashion for many people, but it still has a dedicated fanbase. If you meet any of them today, you might not want to risk [[Berserk Button\|mentioning]] [[Replacement Scrappy\|grunge]]... Also see [[Visual Kei]], which is what happened when [['''Hair Metal]]''' [[Incredibly Lame Pun\|was allowed to]] [[Growing the Beard\|mature]] to its best extent rather than die. Often associated with [[Glam Rock]]. Line 30: * [[Dokken]] * Enuff Z'nuff (these guys were actually a slightly hard sounding, [[Cheap Trick]]-influenced, [[Power Pop]] band who [[Executive Meddling\|were marketed as a Hair Metal band by their record label]] despite not actually being, you know, a ''metal band'', whatsoever) * [[Europe (band)]] * Faster Pussycat * Great White Line 51: * Slaughter * [[Spinal Tap]] (a parody from the titular film) * [[Steel Panther]] (a [[Turn of the Millennium\|modern-day]] example. ~~Thanks, [[The Advertisement Server]]!)~~ * [[Stryper]] ([[Christian Rock\|Christian Hair Metal, no less...]]) * Tesla, though they were another more bluesy band Line 65: * Winger ---- === Tropes === * [[The Beautiful Elite]]: The most popular bands were these. Line 85: [[Category:Hair Metal]] [[Category:Heavy Metal]] [[Category:Music Genres]]
