The thing about 80s hair bands is, it's 2006 and if the band isn't still around, most of the members and, definitely, the songs are around. I think that alone means that hair bands will outlast emo bands (I hope...). Although, as per hair, I think I'd rather have an emo haircut than Dee Snider's mop.
El Duderino says
Viva la Mullet as well!!!
So, here's another question... Is Emo the offspring, ginger, bastard child of 80's Hair Bands? Or did they crawl out from under another rock? I do admit that they share similarities... funky hair and men wearing make-up being a few of them. Or are these two seperate genre's? Even though I personally would never perm my hair and wear it down to my ass... I do admit that there was great music provided by such groups. However, I cannot think of great music that has been generated from the Emo kids... maybe too soon to say? Enlighten me...

I think that all genres have roots in other genres. The interaction is inevitable & welcomed by me personally. It's difficult to define what one takes from another. I really don't analuze it that much, I just enjoy it. And yeah, I think it's too soon to say something about emo.
Hopefully, their haircuts will carry on...sigh.
El Duderino says
LOL...it's all good, i am just bored at work and thought it would be fun to get into this truly philosophical debate of Emo vs. 80s Hair Bands.
So you think the Emo hair cuts will out-live the Emo music? Or vice versa?
Laursey P stated above, the 80's Hair Bands are still around... Just without the hair, their music carries their legacy.
My next question... Am I too sexy for my mullet??? I idolize Lynard Skynard. Free Bird!!!!

Hahahaha, awesome post. I have the same shirt as the guy all the way to the left in the second picture. (Go Mets!)
All genres have their fashion, hairstyles, etc. 80s hairbands, grunge, emo, punk, goth, metal, pop... I don't believe that any one fashion trend is better than another, they're all equally ridiculous in their own ways. :)
El Duderino says
I must dissagree...David Bowie, Chuck Noris, Mike D (beastie boys), Little Richard (jery curl mullet) and Jamir Jagr have all worn mullets... much too cool for country western!!!!
So if an Emo kid and 80's hair band dude got in a fight, who would win?
Bill Swerki's Super Fans says"
80's Hair Band Dude 49 - Emo Kid 3.
To prove a point...here's my family portrait ;)
lemontwist says
Hair band dude would totally win over emo kid. Emo kid would worry about breaking one of his perfectly manicured nails. But at least afterwards he could write a poem about it...
Anna says
LOL @ lemon!
How many emo kids does it take to screw in a new lightbulb?
1 to screw the new one in, and 5 to write a song about how much they miss the old one.
Takeshi Kovacs says
Kiss was a 70's hair band - yes they bled into the 80's but should really be distinguished as influences to the 80's hair bands. Also, Motley Crew is spelled Motley Crue, and Def Leopard is spelled Def Leppard. There's an umlaut over the "u" in Motley Crue as well. But the mullet will live on in infamy.
scum1 says
I kinda prefer the rat tail over the mullet myself. Hair bands would beat down the emo kids easily. Hell the hairbands would be coked up and drunk and still take out the Emos. Of course afterwards the hair bands would have their way with the emo kids girlfriends and then pass out.
