Glam Rock

Glam rock is a music genre that emerged in the early 1970s, characterized by its flamboyant fashion, theatrical performances, and a fusion of rock music with pop sensibilities. Artists often wore extravagant costumes, makeup, and hairstyles, embracing androgyny and a sense of spectacle. Key figures like David Bowie, T. Rex, and Queen were influential, blending powerful guitar riffs with catchy melodies and vibrant visuals. The genre conveyed a message of individuality and rebellion, often challenging societal norms, and had a lasting impact on music, fashion, and popular culture. Glam rock continues to inspire artists today.
