See the thing is these people who dismiss glam metal are looking at metal from a 2014 perspective after extreme forms of metal have been around for almost 3 decades.

Try looking at that Motley Crue album from a 1982 perspective when it was one of the heaviest mixes of 70s Metal, Glam Rock & Punk Rock around at that time and tell me it's not a metal album.

Plus the glam metal of 1981/82 was very different to the glam metal of 1988/89. And it was dying long before Grunge came along. Blame late 80s bands like RHCP, Faith No More & Jane's Addiction for the real downfall of hair metal.
