Hair rock at its peak

"I Hate Myself for Loving You" by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts is a perfect example of late 1980s hair rock, featuring a rhythmic melody, catchy chorus, heavy guitar solo, and the signature look of the performers. The music video is built almost entirely around a stage performance, showcasing both the band and a wildly enthusiastic audience. The camera frequently captures Joan Jett's intense, rebellious stares, reinforcing the attitude of this seemingly aggressive track-which at times borders on the kind of vocal growling that would become popular in metal music years later. Everything about this video screams 1980s-and rightly so.
