Led by frontman Iggy Pop, they combined loud, energetic music with rebellious, often chaotic performances. Their style featured heavy guitar riffs, primal vocals, and a rebellious attitude that challenged mainstream rock norms. Despite limited mainstream success initially, The Stooges gained a cult following and are now recognized for their pioneering role in alternative and punk music, inspiring countless bands and contributing significantly to the evolution of rock.
