Glam rock became popular in the 70s in what was mostly a British movement
with a few notable exceptions. Using lavish and effeminate clothes and heavily
made up male performers glam acts rejected the
progressive rock movement
embracing the lavish lifestyles of the rich and famous.
Male glam acts dressed androgynously evoking images of blurring gender lines and
diminishing social divisions. David Bowie
or Ziggy Stardust as he was known for a time was one of the most mainstream of
the glam rock acts.
Gary Glitter was another early glam act as was the New
York Dolls and the Bay City Rollers. Elton John was one of the first glam rock
performers who crossed over into the mainstream garnering huge success in a long
and prominent musical career. Glam rock was a major influence on the
punk rock movement.
Groups like the sex pistols embraced the genre as one of its major influences as
did later hair metal bands of late 80's.
