The Hair Metal Hair Metal

I was in shipping and receiving along with my friend, whose name I'll protect. We were right near the palate of dangerous toys CDs and 30 count boxes. Every time the song came on, it was a couple times a day, he would pull one out and destroy it. So just what genre is this music? It could have been Americana or bear naked ladies kind of thing where they were doing it with like a sense of humor from a Canadian perspective.
