On film or on-stage it might be easy to get wrapped up in the spectacle, but on record, the candied affectations are too much to bear. But that's who Rock of Ages is for: the legions who want to pretend to rock, who laugh at the excesses of the past because they're loathe to engage with the present. Within the movie's 'musical' illusion of reality, these songs are meant to be representative of the mid-1980s-through-early-1990s era as a whole, since this film is a nostalgic fantasy representation of the era rather than a historically accurate recreation. And that's kind of what squeaky clean Julianne Hough does here - she pretends she’s a rocker but never can disguise that she'd recoil in horror if a Tommy Lee crossed her path, let alone a Mick Mars. The story is set in 1987 but the characters sing songs written after that year, including Warrant's 'Heaven' (1988), Extreme's 'More Than Words' (1990), Poison's 'Every Rose Has Its Thorn' (1988), and Skid Row's 'I Remember You' (1989).
Now that the glory days of Mötley Crüe, Guns N' Roses, Bon Jovi, and Poison are firmly in the past - and thereby no longer carry any sense of sexual danger - it's totally fine to drape a feather boa around your neck, darken your eyes, harden your heart, and sing along with the songs you know by heart. sleaze variety celebrated here, matters not because Rock of Ages is not for rock & rollers, it's for any number of musical theater geeks who like to dress up and play pretend.
