Hair bands, also known as glam metal bands, emerged in the 1980s and became popular for their flashy style and catchy music. Characterized by big hair, tight clothing, and heavy use of makeup, these bands often combined elements of rock and pop. They typically featured guitar solos and anthemic choruses, appealing to a wide audience. Notable hair bands include Mötley Crüe, Poison, and Bon Jovi. Their music often focused on themes of love, partying, and rebellion. The genre peaked in the late 1980s and early 1990s, but its influence can still be seen in modern rock music and fashion.
