Well, when Nirvana came around they were all banished. However, it seems VH1 and an overall feeling of nostalgia have paroled some of them. The real question is why do we still have lousy sounding AM radio in the supposed digital era.

Assuming of course that radio stays relevant with the satellite providers out there... yes, Hair Metal will fade out from the airwaves. It continues to enjoy popularity right now because the kids that bought the music are now in their late 30's to mid 40's... now they have the bucks to keep those bands afloat. Brett Michael's on VH1... just sad. Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam killed off and music label interest in Hair Bands... now we can like them both...
