Think about it this way...
Depending on which generation you are from...
Robert Plant wore pants so tight I swear they were painted on--there was nothing left to the imagination. Roger Daltry and Jimi Hendrix were right behind him. David Bowie had the tight pants and eyeliner, and lots of it. And Freddie Mercury cornered the market in tight pants and makeup.
Moving forward a bit, Prince wore more lace and makeup than the average female. David Lee Roth certainly left nothing to the imagination in those backless tight pants. And remember Joe Elliot's tight white pants with NOTHING on underneath?
Duran Duran, the Fixx, and INXS had their share of tight pants and eyeliner in their day.
How could we forget Vince Neil's bleach blonde hair, eyeliner, spandex and lacey tops? Following right behind were the members of Warrant and Poison. And I haven't even mentioned the original glam band, the New York Dolls.
Yeah, things changed a bit when Soundgarden and Nirvana were all the rage, but the grunge scene was really pretty short lived in the big picture.
Face it, since almost the beginning of rock and roll, tight pants (ie girls pants) and makeup has gone hand-in-hand with "Cool."
