Hi George! I'll prolly get to Saigon Kick in the next chapter, given their only hit single 1. happened around that time and 2. was a ballad, fitting in with a pattern established by most post-Nevermind hit glam singles of leaning heavier into the adult contemporary market

That Mr. Show sketch might be fun to include - I think after Wayne's World, I'll talk for a bit about how media was piling onto the anti-glam train with things like Winger's utter evisceration in Beavis and Butthead or the part in Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" video where Lars Ulrich throws darts at a picture of Kip Winger, so that'd def fit

2025-09-17 23:22:21 +0000 UTCThanks for the update! I’m really looking forward to the video. The WWI analogy is an excellent one that fits all too well with the implosion of glam metal. Y’know, it might be beyond the scope of the “glam backlash” section, but it’d be fun to point out the 1998 Wyckyd Sceptre sketch from Mr Show. It’s a fun skewering of the hypermasculinity of the scene, albeit in a dated way. Calling glam metal “gay” was such a common put-down in the age of backlash, because even the tiniest dash of androgyny was “unmanly” back then. The sketch really takes it to its logical conclusion. As a gay, it’s so strange seeing how otherwise progressive people still bought into the rejection of androgyny throughout the ‘90s and ‘00s. If you ever do a video on Rob Halford’s wilderness years (93-03), it’d be good to touch upon this stuff.

You can also add in Saigon Kick (apologies for mentioning them again) for how they sounded like a hybrid between grunge and glam metal. Also, as a history major, you bringing up how pre grunge, the music industry was like pre-WWI Europe is a fascinating insight. Keep up the good work!
