Its pretty funny, but I remember being a dirtbag skater kid and seeing those guys at school and thinking "how do their dad's let them out of the house like that?" And of course "why?".

I completely didn't get it. Skin tight jeans and poofy hair bigger than the chick's.

I did like the rocker chick's, they were slutty and fun sometimes. But I just didn't understand the dudes in RATT shirts, lol.

The poofy hair reminded me of this

That whole scene was faggy as fuck but there will never be another appetite album ever. There was talent back then and talent was rewarded.

Now it makes me think there was a gay agenda pushed back then that was mostly unsuccessful but now they are trying a different approach. They have always want this gay shit pushed on the kids.

Loved that music. Still do.

It is crazy that many of the bands were effectively cross-dressers. I can't believe my Dad never said shit about it.

But I never grew out my hair. I was a flannel-wearing punk with a buzz cut. I was basically grunge before there was grunge - and, ironically, I didn't immediately like the grunge bands like PJ and Nirvana. They eventually grew on me, but at the time I loved the Big Hair metal much more.

I will definitely check this doc out.

Such awesome music, such gay looking dudes.
Rock of ages, dichotomy of history.

That was a risky era. Bumming around the mall, drinking your Orange Julius, when you spot the backside of a chick with an amazing ass, flowing hair Aquanetted to perfection, in these skin tight acid wash jeans. Then she turns around and it's your friend Mike.
