Description of glam rock music
Glam rock is a genre of rock music that originated in the United Kingdom in the early 1970s. It is characterized by its theatrical and flamboyant style, incorporating elements of glitter, androgyny, and extravagant stage shows. Musically, glam rock is rooted in traditional rock and roll, but often incorporates elements of pop, punk, and heavy metal. The genre was popularized by artists such as David Bowie, T. Rex, Roxy Music, and Sweet, and had a significant influence on the development of punk rock and new wave music.
