Get the Glama mug.Glam emphasized outrageously flamboyant fashions: platform shoes, glittery costumes, garish make-up plastered on the face's of its primarily male performers.
Bowie was the most important trendsetter, and his image was at least as important to many fans as the music itself. Bowie, however, maintained a certain distance from his glamorous image. Even then it seemed to be just a phase he was going through, a costume he would soon drop as soon as something more provocative struck him. A far more satisfying exemplar of the glam rock impulse was Marc Bolan, leader and visual symbol of the band T.Rex. Bolan was an ideal example of the sort of androgyny that fascinated the pop scene in England...as well as America.

As for this: David Bowie, Alice Cooper, Abba, Elton John, KISS, and Motley Crue....Alice Cooper, KISS, and Motley Crue were much more Hair Metal (or Glam Metal) than Glam Rock,they came later in the era, technically speaking. And Abba...was just disco.

Get the glamcock mug.(glam'-ber-TI-tis) noun.
A recently discovered infection with no known cure. It is hypothesized that the infection will resolve itself over time, but the infection has not been present long enough to subject it to longitudinal study.
Symptoms include hyperfocus on any written, audio, or visual materials having to do with 2009 American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert, known for his affection for glam fashion, glam music, and glitter. The infected subject is unable to change focus to, or even remember, necessary activities, which include but are not limited to homework, chores, picking up children from school, or previously scheduled events. Infected persons may also have financial difficulty due to purchasing numerous items related to Adam Lambert.
Glambertitis may also result in uncontrollable physical changes including increased heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate, as well as occasional inflammation and muscle contraction. (See also myopia, selective hearing, adamgasm, kradamgasm.)
