Glam Rock Edit Meaning

1.

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.

See glitter, bowie, glam, androgyny

2.

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 Butt 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.

David Bowie, Alice Cooper, Elton John, Queen, Abba.
