A great genre of metal.
Doesn't matter how many people discard it at not metal, it truly is apart of metal history.
If anything, Nu-metal should be getting the criticism, this is how i see it.
Nu-metal is alienated from metal, musically, because it is based on alien musical influences, namely rap. Glam metal may have been "watered down" for commercial consumption, but it never pretended to fuse metal with anything. To change a Poison song into something that would be universally regarded as traditional heavy metal you need only speed it up, thicken the guitars, change the vocals and tweak the rhythms and such. To change a Korn song into traditional heavy metal you have to completely deconstruct it, and remove something fundamental to it--namely, the rap elements. There is thus a great musical difference between glam metal and Nu-metal.
So, For those who don't agree that glam metal is metal and prefer to call it rock music, I would suggest you are attempting to re-write history. Calling bands from this genre un-metal or unworthy would ruffle many feathers of longtime fans of metal that know glam metal does have it's place in metal.

A verb that is used to describe a person that puts on a facade to their virtual viewer world via facebook. Tools they may use to commit the crime are: Photoshop, photo editors, enhancements of pictures, cropping, and anything else that makes the person look better on the internet, than they actually look in person. They will never be as glamorous as their profile! Photoshop is for liars!!!!!!
Did you see the girl that met me last night at the bar? She was so facebook-glam. She had giant love handles and other issues!
