80s Hair Metal Hats

Hair metal, also called glam or pop metal, is a heavy metal subgenre with pop hooks that borrowed its look from 1970s glam rock: spandex, lace and headbands replaced denim and leather. The scene centred on Sunset Strip clubs such as The Trip, the Whisky a Go Go and the Starwood, and one of its bands was described as the group that single-handedly kept Aqua Net in business during the 1980s. The ride ended around 1991, when grunge took over. These hair metal hats are for the fans who never left. The two badges, HAIR METAL and GLAM METAL, carry the names people actually search. The sentence designs carry the rest of the vocabulary: Aqua Net, the lighters held up for a power ballad, every word memorized, and the spandex kept in a drawer just in case. Fans are split on the ballads (one called them a hair metal version of a Hallmark card, another said a great one is what sets musicians apart), and this page sides with the ones who sing along. AQUA NET AND POWER BALLADS and MY 80S HAIR PUT THE HOLE IN THE OZONE LAYER each get a second colorway. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat, for the person who turns the ballad up and still air-guitars in the kitchen.
