Did Grunge really kill hair metal?

I believe it was a combo of both and the "over the top" stuff that was getting thrown out there by bands.

Glam looks, faster guitars, higher vocals all drove it right into the wall.

I do believe that rap has killed a lot of rock up to now including grunge and modern country kicked it in the teeth when it was down.

There was still a lot of metal around when Grunge was mainstream.

Metallica and Megadeth prospered.

The flash of hair bands was replaced by bling of another sort... so yeah I would say so in that aspect.

My only question with rap is that most music reaches an end with content. Plus having a dude who goes "uh, uh, yeah" in the background.  Isn't that shit cliche yet??

Hair bands - Chicks, Party, Kicking Ass, party some more
Country - Beer, Pickup Trucks, Beer, Leavin' Me, Beer
Rap - I got stuff, money, shaking ass, hoes, did I mention I got stuff?,  makin' more money, I'm high, ballin', made up words from the hood/gang lingo

I'm just so bored of the majority that is being made today.
