How misguided were kids when they chose grunge over hair metal?

If you go back and listen to hair metal it is still awesome.

Hair metal had jumped the shark. A new sound was needed. Grunge and alternative were that sound.

Hair metal had gotten corny and stale AF. Nirvana was something fresh and new.

At the time, it had run its course and starting to become a mockery of itself.

The worst part was some really good metal/hard rock music that came out around then that got lost in the shuffle.

Both are good, so no they were not misguided.

The “big 4” (Metallica, Slayer, Megadeath, and Anthrax) were more responsible for the death of hair metal than grunge imo. They redefined what hard rock sounded like and hair metal seemed corny and lame by comparison.

Grunge was mainstream rock’s last stand.

Hair metal had become a caricature by the early 90s.

Nancy Wilson claims responsibility for the grunge movement as she was providing house parties for all the key Seattle players.

Hair metal was awesome, but it was just as excessive and silly as rap metal 10 years later. Please lose interest when things are no longer authentic.

Granted, I’m pumped about seeing Limp Bizkit this summer.

Hair metal is bad.

I cant even stand stuff I used to like in college.


Alice In Chains is my favorite from the grunge era and they took from rock bands like the doors and Black Sabbath and punk bands like the sex pistols.

The reason why bands like them were better is because the glam bands werent their influence.
