Glam rock (also known as glitter rock) is a style of pop/rock music from the UK characterised by artists who wore extravagant costumes, make-up and hairstyles, particularly platform shoes and glitter.

Glam artists were influenced by bubblegum pop and '50s rock and roll to cabaret theatrics, science fiction, and complex art rock. The flamboyant clothing and visual styles of performers were often androgynous, and have been described as playing with nontraditional gender roles.
