Motley Crue is on their "final" tour. Anyone agree that Hair Metal is DEAD now?
Hair Metal was at its biggest peak from 1986-1991, but it's managed to gain an audience throughout the years leading up until today, not a large audience of this generation's youth, but a decent amount. In that time though many of those bands have disbanded or stopped recording new music. Motley Crue was one of the originators of hair metal and have toured non-stop for 33 years and have recorded up until 2008, so I feel like since this final tour is the end of Motley Crue that it will also be the end of Hair Metal as well because Motley Crue was keeping the genre alive.
Anyone think that Hair Metal's officially going to be in a graveyard now?

'80s hair metal, sure. But there are still plenty of modern hair metal bands. Steel Panther, The Darkness, Crashdïet, H.E.A.T., etc. The flagship bands for hair metal in the '80s might be has-beens or in their final years but hair metal as a whole isn't dying anytime soon.

The question should be how is Mick Mars able to tour?
Ever since there have been a dozen Kiss reunion tours when the last one was their so called "final" tour, I don't believe that.
Sabbath has 10 years on Crue and are still pumping out senior citizen metal.

it died when grunge took over then nu metal took over now black metal rules.
