Backstory: By the mid 70's, the genre of HeavyMetal seemed dead in the water. Music/BlackSabbath was the only "true" metal band, and even it was in tatters from heavy drug use, and the [[SturgeonsLaw genre had become bloated with many unoriginal and derivative acts]] that [[FollowTheLeader merely tried to repeat the success of the bigger bands of the genre]], and weren't really even "metal" as they seem to be more rooted in earlier rock bands with a slight increase in volume, with little connection to later metal bands otherwise. Also, a new genre, PunkRock, had appeared on the music scene. In addition to possessing metal's hardness and aggression, it was also faster and, unlike HeavyMetal, was critically well-respected. For metal, things looked grim indeed.

Add long hair to fashion

By the end of the decade, the movement was in full swing with a diversity of styles. Most bands, like Music/IronMaiden, Saxon, and Angel Witch, combined heavy riffing (typically featuring two lead guitarists, following the example of Music/ThinLizzy) with soaring, pseudo-operatic vocals, wailing guitar solos, and lyrics concerning fantasy, rebellion, and the Heavy Metal lifestyle. Others, such as Music/DefLeppard, gravitated towards a more mainstream sound informed by GlamRock. Others still, like Music/{{Venom|Band}}, chose to emulate [=Motorhead=]'s aggressive style and exaggerate it, paving the way for ThrashMetal, BlackMetal, and DeathMetal. What united these bands was a shared sense of fashion (mostly consisting of denim jeans, [[HellBentForLeather leather jackets]], studded metal belts and wrist bands, and band t-shirts/patches), a Punk-like aversion to the mainstream (Def Leppard being a major exception), and enthusiasm toward the music and its attending subculture.
