Glam rock, also known as glitter rock, is a flamboyant rock style characterized by a return to rock 'n' roll simplicity, delivering an energetic sound often driven by guitars and a driving rhythm section. Emerging in the UK between 1971 and 1975, it was a reaction against the seriousness of progressive rock, emphasizing spectacle and provocative imagery. Key artists who defined the genre include T. Rex, David Bowie, and Roxy Music, with American acts like the New York Dolls also making significant contributions. Its audacious theatricality and rebellious spirit laid groundwork for later movements like punk.
