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

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

Slave to the Grind came out in the 90s, didnt have a hair band feel. It had a couple meaningful songs on it.

There’s a real good oral history of hair metal - “Nothin’ But a Good Time” - that talks about how the genre killed itself with too many bad bands. Things started to dip around 1990 - that’s when ticket and record sales dipped for some of the second tier bands like Cinderella and Ratt.
Hair metal and grunge had a lot of the same influences - Kiss, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper. It’s just that the grunge bands threw a little more punk in the mix.
