Glam metal is a sub-genre of heavy metal music, that arose in the late 1970s in the United States. It was a dominant genre in popular rock music throughout the 1980s.
The genre is also referred to, often by detractors, as hair metal. This term was popularized by MTV in the 1990s and derives from the tendency amongst some bands to style their long hair in a teased-up fashion. Also, this music has been called by the more derogatory terms cock rock and butt rock. During its heyday, the genre was often referred to as heavy metal or simply metal.
Origins
The genre is influenced heavily by 1970s rock and heavy metal bands, such as Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, KISS, Led Zeppelin, New York Dolls, Queen *, The Sweet, and others. More on [ Glam metal ]
