	Hair metal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hair metal is a term used to describe a type of heavy metal music, and its associated fashion, that arose in the late 1970s in the United States.
		Hair metal was aggressive, with lyrics often focusing on girls, drinking, drug use, and the occult.
		Despite hair metal’s popularity at the time, many began to consider it unimportant or derisory, due to a common perception that the bands were more focused on their make-up, clothing (usually spandex), lyrics, and stage shows, than on their music.

		Hair metal is a type of heavy metal music that arose in the late 1970s, in the United States, and was a strong force in popular music throughout the 1980s and early-1990s.
		Hair metal performers became infamous for their debauched lifestyles, their long, teased hair, and effeminate use of make-up, clothing, and accessories, (traits somewhat reminiscent of glam rock.) Following Def Leppard's wildly popular Pyromania, and Van Halen's seminal 1984, hair metal became ubiquitous on radio and television.
		In the early 1990s, hair metal became widely ridiculed, and increasingly formulaic, (for example, the music of Firehouse, Vixen, and Slaughter.) In 1991, the surge in popularity of grunge music, performed by Alice In Chains, Nirvana, and Pearl Jam, led to a decline in hair metal's popularity.

	Hair Analysis: A Cardinal Sign of Quackery
		Proponents of hair analysis claim that it is useful for evaluating a person's general state of nutrition and health and is valuable in detecting predisposition to disease.
		Hair grows slowly (1 cm/month), so even hair closest to the scalp is several weeks old and thus may not reflect current body conditions for purposes of health diagnosis.
		The use of a single multielemental hair analysis test as the sole means of diagnosis violates basic tenets of medical practice that laboratory findings should be considered together with the patient's history and physical examination, and that the practitioner should keep in mind that laboratory errors occur.

		As metal with pop-sensibilities, hair metal is caught in the limbo stage between the earlier, musically respectable metal it grew out of and the MTV-driven, image-based pop music of the 80s.

		It may seem that the majority of people that listen to hair metal either seriously rock out to it or find it hilarious, but this is perhaps a crude method of categorization, for the same features of music can illicit very different but simultaneously occurring reactions in us.
