That's why they're considered "hair metal" and not "heavy metal."

I mean, you can certainly think that, but the name of the genre is "Hair Metal."  And the speed and strength of the guitar parts are more metal than pop.

They're somewhere in between, say... Journey, and Iron Maiden.

Thus, Hair Metal.

Also, Heavy Metal is pretty bland and boring.  I used to like both Heavy Metal and Hair Metal, but decades later, the Hair Metal is WAY more listenable than the plodding, thudding repetition of a Dave Murray or Jeff Hanneman guitar part.

too far out for this old fogy

They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

Really?  I mean, the costumes and hair and makeup could be outlandish, but I consider the music itself to be more accessible and considerably less "far out" than, say, the acid rock of the 70s.

There's still some heavy metal that I really like, though.  Well, for those who consider Metallica to actually be heavy metal and not just pop...

Iron Maiden was a bit much for my taste

I dug Heavy Metal the movie.

Funny thing is, none of the music was really Heavy Metal. 

But it was definitely cool.
