Glam metal
Glam metal (also known as hair metal, sleaze metal[1] and pop metal) is a hard rock/heavy metal subgenre. It combines punk rock with pop music. It became popular in the 1970s and 1980s.[2] But it became less popular in the 1990s. This was because grunge music was getting more popular.[3]
