And those teenagers who didn't listen to heavy metal, tended to prefer alt-rock bands like R.E.M. and 10,000 Maniacs.

I must've been in a very small minority because back in 1987 (Ah, The good ol' high school years...) I was listening to the above mentioned bands (Except Bon Jovi who I never cared for, Whom I have a rather negative name for which I wont print here...hehehehe) but more thrash metal than anything (Anthrax, Slayer, Testament, Megadeth & of course Metallica before Lars & Co. started to see the almighty
$$$ in the mid-90's and thus sucked!) and yet I still listened to Fleetwood Mac because they were considered
un-cool to like.
