At least they had long hair then. Metal has always it's fair share of stupid bands, fans, imagery and crap albums. It will probably always be the most derided of genres whatever decade we are in but oddly enough it is one of the few genres with an amazing amount of longevity, innovation and loyalty. Many many bands have come and gone in the last 30 years in other genres but do they pack out arenas and festivals? do they balls.

It could be argued that the mulleted dunderheads of the 80's have been replaced by the short haired multi tattoo wielding whiny bitches of today. Hipsters will always be there.
