But 20 years later, all of this is academic — pardon the pun. Hair bands might have been trashed by reviewers (check the Rolling Stone Record Guides for proof), but good songs win out regardless of genre, which is why radio stations play disco on Saturday nights. When more and more kids get to hear catchy songs like Poison’s “Nothin’ But a Good Time” on Internet stations without knowing hair metal’s bad rep, odds are this much-maligned genre will prove it can stand the test of time as well.

The turgid, hyper-serious hits by Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and, yes, Nirvana might mean more lyrically, but are musically less interesting, especially when removed from the context of those bands’ careers.

Nirvana great lyrically? Umm, no.
"A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yea"
"And I swear
That I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun"
Yeah, that's ****ing great lyrics...
