As TheSeventies became TheEighties, the music industry changed, with PunkRock, NewWaveMusic and later AlternativeRock becoming the hip new genres; Vertigo failed to keep pace, although signings like Music/ThinLizzy and Music/DireStraits kept them on the charts. (The label's Canadian arm did manage to snag hip alternative artists like the Music/CocteauTwins and Music/{{Pixies}} through a licensing deal with Creator/FourADRecords and its corporate parent, Creator/{{Beggars Banquet|Records}}.) By the mid-80s, the label had become the European home for HeavyMetal and HairMetal bands like Music/DefLeppard, Music/{{KISS}}, Music/{{Scorpions|Band}} and Music/BonJovi, with Music/{{Metallica}} as its most prominent act. Since the TurnOfTheMillennium, Vertigo (now a part of Creator/UniversalMusicGroup thanks to corporate mergers) has undergone a resurgence with new signings like Music/TheKillers, Music/{{Soundgarden}}, and Dirty Pretty Things; even Black Sabbath, which had left Vertigo in 1987, returned for the band's final albums. Vertigo is also still active in UsefulNotes/{{Germany}}, having merged with Creator/CapitolRecords.
