It's simple. Some of us weren't, some were. Unfortunately, movies like 'Heavy Metal Parking Lot' and 'The Decline Of Western Civilization Pt. 2' reiterate the stereotype that we were nothing but a bunch of lunkheads. I absolutely CRINGE when I see scenes from those films. In short order: there is just as much room in my music library for Cinderella and Poison as there is for Slayer and Testament. I prefer to call it HARD ROCK!
