"Based around the clubs of L.A.'s Sunset Strip, bands such as Quiet Riot, Ratt, M??tley Cr??e, and W.A.S.P. were influenced by traditional heavy metal of the earlier 1970s[98] and incorporated the theatrics (and sometimes makeup) of glam rock acts such as Alice Cooper and Kiss.[99] The lyrics of these glam metal bands characteristically emphasized hedonism and wild behavior." . . . .
