Well of course i'm going to go with the 'at the time' arguements , how can I not if you're discussing hair metal. Unless you're trying to argue it's just as prevalent now as it was then.
I don't think Pop metal describes them at all considering they hated metal.
Guns n Roses played Stones style rock n roll with a punk attitude.
I don't see how that's generic as I can only think of 3 other bands that did that sort of thing. The New York Dolls , Hanoi Rocks and Primal Scream. And none of those bands sounded anything alike.
