Glam Rock
The early seventies, still marked by folk rock, saw the emergence of progressive rock, hard rock and glam rock (or glitter rock) in the United Kingdom and the United States.
Fashion was one of the hallmarks of glam: eccentric clothing, high-heeled boots, make-up, rhinestones and sequins.
Marc Bolan was an English guitarist, singer-songwriter and poet.
He was a pioneer of the glam rock movement in 1971 with his band T. Rex.
From 1976 onwards, glitter rock gave way to American glam metal bands such as Kiss, Quiet Riot, W.A.S.P., Twisted Sister and Mötley Crüe on the one hand, and the punk movement in England on the other.
