Glam Rock is a music genre that emerged in the early 1970s, characterized by its flamboyant style and theatrical performances. Artists often wore extravagant clothing, makeup, and hairstyles, blending rock music with elements of pop and performance art. Key figures in this movement include David Bowie, T. Rex, and Queen, who helped define the genre's aesthetic and sound. The music of Glam Rock typically features catchy melodies, guitar riffs, and an emphasis on showmanship. Songs often explore themes of fantasy, love, and rebellion. The genre had a significant influence on later styles, including punk rock and heavy metal, and continues to inspire artists today.
