Catching today isn't it, laughing at others. I don't think he's trolling at all, makes a fair point. Now carry on you young Americans.

I understand that but they have a similar sound to what was going on at the time. partially because they influenced it.

I would argue that AC/DC is very distinct from hair metal in general. There are a couple broad comparisons to be drawn, but AC/DC carry none of the aesthetic and very little sonic similarity to bands like Motley Crue, Ratt, White Lion, or Tesla (for example).

Yea, I mean there's a LOT of metal from the 80s of all different types of subgenres, and plenty of it has had massive lasting power and influence through today

I'd say AC/DC laid a lot of groundwork for bands like White Lion, Ratt, Cinderella, etc to come along, even if they don't have a ton in common musically. When people think of a 4/4 back beat, it's often referred to as the AC/DC beat, which many of the drummers of that era used commonly. On top of that, I can hear a good amount of both Bon and Brian influence on the singers to come after them. Axl Rose being a huge Bon fan, Cinderella and Slaughter's singers respectively having the gruff Brian Johnson tone. No one really capitalized on catchy simplicity like AC/DC did in my opinion though.
After the release of Back In Black and For Those About To Rock, AC/DC's style didn't change per se, however, it did take on a bigger sound in their production though closer to the pop metal of the time. I believe Mutt Lange produced both Back In Back and Def Leppard's Hysteria. AC/DC are not hair metal at all, but their fingerprints are all over the genre.
If anything, I think it's fair to say that the hair metal scene was in large part a bridge between the styles of Van Halen and AC/DC.

Furthermore they have more of a blues rock foundation. Hair metal typically doesn't.
Those that have no respect for Joshua Tree have no soul.
Also the dodgers last won a world series in 1988.
