Talk:Dare (band)

"Dare went to Disneyland once.[3] and lost their car."

- Reviewing the source material suggests that they were able to find their car after everyone else went home, accordingly I propose that this be written as:

"Dare went to Disneyland once and temporarily lost their car."

which I feel more accurately reflects the source.

Adding the genre "glam metal" to this band?

Hi,

Just wanting to add the genre "glam metal" to this band. Stated as such in following sources:

Hello,

as FlightTime suggested to you back in June, genre sources can easily be considered an opinion and not fact, and changing/revising them here on Wiki is a dodgy subject at best.

Regarding Dare, ignoring any sourcing you cited for a moment, I have to assume you listen to the band and/or like the band, to take this degree of interest in them? And if you do..., you must know they are not 'glam metal' in any way. If you don't, maybe give them a listen? And by the way, the two stories I can access that you cite use the term 'hair metal', and I must say, these two sources are hardly reputable pieces of journalism. They are page filler and likely written by an intern, or at the very best a staffer who knows nothing of the subject they are writing on...

Either way, Dare are definitely not hair or glam metal. Yes, they dressed of their time, and their second album Blood From Stone most definitely had a harder edge to it, but nowhere in serious genre/subject-related journalism will you find Dare labelled as a hair or glam metal band. So confident am I of this, I have reverted your edit back to original and ask cordially that before any additional changes are made by yourself you source a reputable attribution of hair or glam metal to the band, and let's also maybe wait for a while and see if anybody else has any thoughts on this. Agreed? SurfaceAgentX2Zero (talk) 09:28, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
