I would also argue that while hair metal has the word metal in the term, it's not metal. It's Glam Rock. 80s style rather than 70s. I had to live through that in real time and it was pretty awful.
I do miss the days when high tenor piercing singing was the standard rather than guttural growling all the time and everyone sounding basically the same because of it. I loved when a doom band had a killer vocalist like pentagram or candlemass et al. Spirit Adrift seem to be bringing it back, as do Khemmis.
Khemmis definitely strike me as a metal band that people who don't generally listen to metal can like, and they're way better than most bands that fall into that category.
