The 1980s
Skinny jeans were also very popular in the 1980s, with most heavy metal bands, and in particular those in the thrash scene, such as Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica and Slayer.
This was the trend for those who didn't wear spandex, which was popular with the dominant glam metal scene at the time. They were often worn with white high-top sneakers or basket-ball shoes.
By the late 1980s and early 1990s, many hair metal bands such as Poison, Guns N' Roses and Mötley Crüe to Kiss, Bon Jovi and Slaughter, ditched the spandex and wore the form fitted jeans.
However with the rise of grunge and hip-hop music in the early nineties and the post thrash movement, skinny jeans quickly went out of favour although some people still wear them to have the "old school" metal appearance.
