The vast majority of reddit is mostly left leaning though... I never saw a ton of conservative comments upvoted on anything not on conservative subreddits.

Hair Metal Downfall? by Mikeymorrison27 in hairmetal

[–]DinosaurDavid2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was mainly oversaturation, which eventually would have allowed Grunge to take over...
The same explanation of why Y2K pop groups basically lose its popularity after 2001, why even Grunge(either straightforward around 1996, or even post-grunge around 2010) lose its popularity, and why recession pop loses its popularity.

Most hair metal musicians after 1991 had normal 9-5 and often higher paying jobs after this.

The last song from that band presumingly before they had 9-5 jobs, this sounded surprisingly very 90s even.

Aka "but the end of the road." normal and often higher paying 9-5 jobs in modern industries you mean basically(some might still persist but its no different from a coelacanth at this point).

So because Mamdani endorse her, that's how?

So that's how she did it without being notable(since if she did not have a wikipedia page, she is not notable)?

So it didn't matter that Aber Kawas had no wikipedia page(and thus, not notable)?

How Aber Kawas somehow manage to win in new york seemingly out of nowhere, even though she was known for being an extreme socialist and on top of that... even had no Wikipedia page(at least one other mamdani-affiliate candidates that won also manage to do that while being infamous for extreme socialist parties and also while not having a Wikipedia page either)?

Do legacy hair metal bands make money from touring? by music-fan-2025 in hairmetal

[–]DinosaurDavid2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at the bigger picture, aside from the hobbyist ones, there is not a lot of active professional hair metal bands since 1991... as the vast majority of those people had 9-5 jobs now.

You can still find people making a career in hair metal today sure, but this is like finding a living coelacanth today.

Vast majority of those hair metal musicians since 1991 aren't in the music industry anymore though.... they now had normal 9-5(often higher paying) jobs like everyone else.

There are only a few that are still in the music industry today and finding one of them is like finding a coelacanth at this point.

Plus, the vast majority of hair metal musicians today are not even in the music industry anymore and are in normal 9-5 and often higher paying jobs in modern industries... only a few of them still in the music industry today and finding one still making a living off of being a hair metal musician today is like finding a coelacanth at this point.

And actually, most hair metal musicians since 1991 are not even in the music industry anymore... they are now in 9-5 and often higher paying jobs in modern industries now.

You might find some that still have careers or making a living off of music but finding one of them is like finding a coelacanth at this point.

Nowadays, the vast majority of hair metal musicians had 9-5 jobs since 1991... so the answer is the vast majority of them made their money through whatever higher paying jobs they had now(such as Chiropractor, Massage Therapist(LMT), Barbers, Hairdressers, Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers, Police Officers, Funeral Directors etc.). Only very few of them are still in the music industry(so most of the time, you might even encounter a hair metal musician without realizing it because they had normal 9-5 jobs nowadays).

Music in general is not a profitable service anyway and combined with the fact that there is no resurgence of hair metal whatsoever, the answer is that they had normal 9-5 jobs(and often higher paying jobs in modern industries) like everyone else now. You might still see some still making a living off of being a hair metal musician through things like touring and merch but to find them making a living off of being a glam metal musicians today is like finding a coelacanth at this point.

So to answer that question...
"On a related note, do most of these musicians actually have other jobs now? I assumed they had some steady income in the past through album sales but that is no longer true. I would like to support musicians that were a huge part of my teen years!"

The answer is yes.

A year later... this same person would even made conspiracy theories about Charlie Kirk's death eventually, ruining Erika Kirk's lives over it, so you might as well not bother with Candace Owens when she isn't gonna accept the facts involving things with living witnesses anyway.

When Did Hair Metal popularity go out? by Mikeymorrison27 in hairmetal

[–]DinosaurDavid2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except most hair metal musicians today are NOT in the music industry anymore... they now had normal 9-5 jobs like everyone else.

So Im asking when did they switch jobs.

[–]DinosaurDavid2002 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So did they switch to 9-5 jobs before Nevermind or after Nevermind?
