Glam Rock

Origins

Glam Rock, also known as Glitter Rock, emerged in the early 1970s and reached its peak popularity in the mid-1970s. It is characterized by its extravagant and flamboyant aesthetic, combining elements of extravagant fashion, androgyny, theatrical makeup, and glitter. Glam Rock artists such as David Bowie, T. Rex, and Queen became famous for their theatrical performances and provocative fashion choices, which broke the boundaries of gender norms. With its emphasis on individualism, self-expression, and rebellion, Glam Rock became an iconic style in the music and fashion industries.
