I hate grunge.

I thought he was in Warrant tbh so I'm even worse off.

I don't get why this guy is reviving this thread though. MB is not the place to do your research.

They want to know what millennials think about 80's glam metal. They want me to post threads on music forums.

Ratt had the guitar gods that were Warren DeMartini and Robbin Crosby, and to think Stephen Pearcy is wanting to tour and record as Ratt without those guys is sacrilege.

I don't think hair metal could ever make a real comeback tbh, seeing as the original bands have such big ego clashes that they can't even keep their own old bands going. Couldn't see any new bands coming along if there's no big names from the 80's coming back to get it started.

Also they want to know what generation Z kids think about that whole 1980's pop glam heavy metal thing. These treads are part of that online research.

Okay, but why make a reactionary thread like "I hate grunge" instead of just opening a discussion thread for glam metal?

They didn't wanted to be just a regular thread. They want to reinvent that whole pre grunge upbeat party melodic commercial pop metal sound so they also want to know what people think about grunge impact and influence on modern rock music.

Holy **** that makes two industry plants that frequent MB. Hot dog!

Inb4 you get axed for revealing that to us though, if it is at all true.

That just means you're a product of your age group and mass media development. All humans are products of their environments and time period to some extent or another. It ultimately all comes down to the dichotomous difference between what industries want to sell, and what consumers want to buy. That can, after all, be said about all sales products. Basically what I'm trying to simply say is: If you're trying to track art through profit, you're looking at it through glasses with a lens that were prescribed for you, rather than with your own eyes. In all actuality: No artist, anywhere, in probably the last 20 years, has given a flying **** about whatever the **** the industries are going to rip them off for. What's left to the wind is the artists who are more along the lines to act like employees, rather than artists. That is because: Art does not obey the laws of employment beyond that of the limitations of hopes and dreams to be exploited by somebody, somewhere. Just ask: Any artist. You'll find kids that will want you to auto-tune them to make them "famous" and 50something-year-old local musicians who've accepted defeat but still play entirely for the sake of playing alike. When Pablo Casals was asked in his 90s why he continued to rehearse his cello, he responded with: "Because I think I'm finally getting somewhere!" That pretty much, says it all for anybody that plays any instrument anywhere that continues to play totally besides the point of the monetary factor.
