'''Glam punk''' (or '''glitter punk''') is a [[music genre]] that mixes elements of [[glam rock]] with [[protopunk]] or [[punk rock]] (and sometimes [[garage rock]]). |

'''Glam punk''' is a [[music genre]] that mixes elements of [[glam rock]] with [[protopunk]] or [[punk rock]]. Acts like [[Iggy Pop]] are considered by some as glam punk, likely due to his androgynous image and the protopunk sound of his band, [[The Stooges]].{{Fact|date=September 2007}} Some of the more obscure glam punk bands of the 1970s — such as [[The Boys (UK band)|Hollywood Brats]], the Jook, Milk ‘N’ Cookies and [[Jet (UK band)|Jet]] — can be heard on the compilation CD ''Glitterbest: 20 Pre Punk 'n' Glam Terrace Stompers''.<ref>[http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:pk57gjir46ic Allmusic.com - Glitterbest]</ref> In the 1990s, glam punk band [[D Generation]] became popular in the underground scene and received critical acclaim from ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' magazine.<ref>[http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/dgeneration/albums/album/207901/review/5942074/no_lunch No Lunch - DGen review in Rolling Stone]</ref> |

The most influential glam punk band has been [[New York Dolls]], whose androgynous image and raw, loose music style laid down a blueprint for the genre. Other notable acts who have been described as glam punk include [[Hanoi Rocks]], [[Manic Street Preachers]] and [[D Generation]]. |

The first and most notable example of a glam punk band is the [[New York Dolls]]. They are often considered one of the creators of [[punk rock]], although following the 1970s punk explosion in [[London]], the New York Dolls were sometimes labelled ''glam'' in comparison.<ref>[http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/9635724/new_york_dolls_make_their_return Rolling Stone - New York Dolls]</ref> [[Iggy Pop]] is also considered by some as glam punk; likely due to his androgynous image and the [[protopunk]] sound of his band, [[The Stooges]].<ref>[http://www.glampunk.org/iggy.html Iggy Pop @ Glampunk.org]</ref> [[Glam rock]] icon [[David Bowie]] produced some of Iggy Pop's most popular songs, such as "[[Lust for Life]]".

==1980s: England and United States== |

The 1980s saw a re-emergence of the glam punk style with the band [[Hanoi Rocks]]. While playing in [[London]], the group influenced several other bands who played in a similar style, such as Soho Roses, Kill City Dragons, [[Dogs D'Amour]] and the Babysitters. In the [[United States]], a music style dubbed [[sleaze rock]] or sleaze glam was somewhat related to glam punk. Bands of this genre, such as [[Guns N' Roses]], [[Faster Pussycat]], and [[L.A. Guns]] were influenced by [[New York Dolls]] and [[Iggy Pop]]. Sleaze rock bands also incorporated [[hard rock]] and [[heavy metal]] elements not found in pure glam punk. Guns N' Roses showed their glam punk roots by devoting their album ''[[The Spaghetti Incident?]]'' almost entirely to [[punk rock]] [[cover version]]s. |

In the 1990s, the glam punk image was unpopular, but [[punk rock]]-influenced music was on the rise with [[grunge music]] acts such as [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]]. Bands such as [[New York City]]'s [[D Generation]] became popular in the underground scene and received critical acclaim from ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' magazine.<ref>[http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/dgeneration/albums/album/207901/review/5942074/no_lunch No Lunch - DGen review in Rolling Stone]</ref> However, the critical acclaim did not result in high album sales. Around the same time, [[Welsh people|Welsh]] band [[Manic Street Preachers]] played a similar musical style.<ref>[http://www.metroactive.com/papers/sonoma/03.16.05/preachers-0511.html MetroActive.com]</ref> Their [[1991]] debut ''[[Generation Terrorists]]'' drew influences from [[The Clash]] and [[Hanoi Rocks]], and like in the case of D Generation, their album received critical acclaim, but poor album sales.<ref>[http://www.q4music.com/nav?page=q4music.review.redirect&fixture_review=134159&resource=134159&fixture_artist=145875 Manics - Generation Terrorists]</ref> [[Backyard Babies]], from [[Sweden]], were a prominent example of glam punk during the 1990s, with their album ''Total 13''. Guitarist Dregen once described the Backyard Babies in an interview as "The missing link between [[KISS (band)|KISS]] and the [[Ramones]]."<ref>[http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Underground/6514/dregenint.html Dregen - Interview]</ref> [[Michael Monroe]] of Hanoi Rocks was a guest performer on one of the band's albums, and guitarist Dregen has recorded a live acoustic album with [[Dogs D'Amour]] vocalist Tyla. Since then, the glam punk genre has remained at an underground level, with newer bands around the world carrying on the sound. |

Glam punk is a music genre that mixes elements of glam rock with protopunk or punk rock. Acts like Iggy Pop are considered by some as glam punk, likely due to his androgynous image and the protopunk sound of his band, The Stooges.[citation needed] Some of the more obscure glam punk bands of the 1970s — such as Hollywood Brats, the Jook, Milk ‘N’ Cookies and Jet — can be heard on the compilation CD Glitterbest: 20 Pre Punk 'n' Glam Terrace Stompers.[1] In the 1990s, glam punk band D Generation became popular in the underground scene and received critical acclaim from Rolling Stone magazine.[2]
