Glam Rock

Glam rock is a flamboyant rock subgenre that emerged in early 1970s Britain, blending catchy, hard-edged rock riffs with theatrical glamour. Defined by artists like David Bowie and T. Rex, it features exaggerated, androgynous fashion (platform boots, glitter, makeup) and campy, self-aware performances. Musically, it combines simple, driving rhythms, distorted guitars, and anthemic choruses, celebrating teenage rebellion, fantasy, and gender-bending spectacle.
