Yeah, because this is the gayest era ever, not the 80's.
It doesn't get more manly than this.

Dumbass.
1) That is a modern day parody Hair "metal" band.
2) Thrash / death / black metal from that era did not wear that shit.
Standard attire was 501s, Nikes and leather jackets.
3) Nothing today even comes close to the elite of that era.
4) You wouldn't know, because you were probably soiling your diapers and giggling around your binky in front of Big Bird on TV.
Jesus Christ, calm the fuck down. There's no need to make it personal.
1) You're right here. This is a hair metal band. Oh wait, I knew that already.
2) Since I wasn't even born at the time I have no actual memory of how thrash/death/black metal bands dressed. But I do know they sure as hell didn't wore the clothes in that picture.
3) Although this is mostly your personal preference, I'm not going to deny the importance of the 80's now, and I never did so in the past.
4) Now, this is where you're wrong. The scenario you're talking about here actually took place in the early 90's. But there's no way you could've known that, so I won't hold it against you.
Now about that picture. It wasn't supposed to be taken entirely serious. It was a stupid reaction, fueled by frustration, towards an equally stupid comment, nothing more, nothing less. It wasn't my intention to make a point, but rather to point out that the entire discussion about which era is "the gayest" is just stupid. I'm well aware of the fact that the 80's were an incredibly important decade for metal music with bands producing lots of quality music.
Hopefully this clears things up a little bit.
