Overview
Glam Rock emerged in the early 1970s, characterized by its extravagant fashion, theatrical performances, and a sound that melded rock with pop sensibilities. Artists like [[david-bowie|David Bowie]] and [[t-rex|T. Rex]] led the charge, blending gender norms and challenging societal expectations. This genre was not merely about the music; it was a full-on cultural movement that celebrated individuality and self-expression through flamboyant costumes and makeup, creating a vibrant subculture still influential today.
