INFLUENCE

Although glam rock went into a steep decline in popularity in the second half of the 1970s it was a direct influence on acts that rose to prominence later, including Kiss and American glam metal acts like Quiet Riot, W.A.S.P. It was a major influence on the New Romantics in Britain. It also had an influence on the formation of gothic rock, and even on punk rock, pop-art and simple but powerful instrumentation. In Japan in the 1980s, visual kei was strongly influenced by glam rock aesthetics.

Glam has since enjoyed continued influence and sporadic modest revivals in bands such as Marilyn Manson

Placebo

Chainsaw Kittens
