Glam Rock

glam emphasized outrageously flamboyant fashions: platform shoes, glittery costumes, garish make-up plastered on the face’s of its primarily male performers.
bowie was the most important trendsetter, and his image was at least as important to many fans as the music itself. bowie, however, maintained a certain distance from his glamorous image. even then it seemed to be just a phase he was going through, a costume he would soon drop as soon as something more provocative struck him. a far more satisfying exemplar of the glam rock impulse was marc bolan, leader and visual symbol of the band t.rex. bolan was an ideal example of the sort of androgyny that fascinated the pop scene in england…as well as america.
as for this: david bowie, alice cooper, abba, elton john, kiss, and motley crue….alice cooper, kiss, and motley crue were much more hair metal (or glam metal) than glam rock,they came later in the era, technically speaking. and abba…was just disco.
during the 70’s and 80’s, an affective movement called glam rock thrived the stages of pop audiences. glam rock could also be considered b-tt rock, they are similar but glam rock has a more pop audience approach. the usual aspect of a glam rock song consisted of a rhythm guitar beat, a brief keyboard solo, and an unusually long guitar solo. there was a long line of exceptions to that but the songs always left a lyrical imprint in the brain. glam rock artists usually dressed “pretty” with face paint, makeup, costumes, unusual hair, and tight clothing. glam rock was very popular most likely because it resembled the work of elvis.

though glam rock is truly dead, the “third generation punk” movement uses unusually similar aspects.

a poser-fashion style started by many posers in the 1960,1970 focusing on the gleam of clothes, the non-physical
s-xual att-tude, the fashion . general focusing on pose and not music. a virus that possessed and possesses true rock
which is a style of life and a reaction against systems.
started by -ssholes like david bowie, it continues to be trendy, it sells well and it’s loved by companies and record stores who like a non-aggressive rock style(pop style like britney spears b-tch) cause it’s a music that family buys. it’s also received well by the system. gays and
drug addicts can’t react.
