they wouldn't have released albums to the public if they didn't. the difference was they seemingly didn't let it affect what they put out on record.

Maybe, but it seemed calculated while appearing lackadaisical. I'd rather have real honesty, whatever that might be.

they played and recorded what they wanted to play and record, not what they thought the public wanted. they still cared about what people thought of it after they released it, but that's different than not giving a shite altogether.

It was more than the music. It was about giving off the appearance of not caring. It was a response to hair metal, but it was ultimately just as shallow.
