( INFORMATION AND EXAMPLES OF EACH GENRE UNDER CUT )

GLAM ROCK !

Artists: David Bowie, New York Dolls, Sweet, Queen, Kiss, Hanoi Rocks

Most popular Era: 70s - 80s

Basic definition: Whilst music was a large part of this genre, the look and aesthetic that came with the bands was even bigger. The music blends elements of rock and roll with flamboyant fashion, elaborate makeup, and androgynous style. Glam rock artists often wore flashy costumes, platform shoes, and bold hairstyles, creating a visually striking image. Combined with high energy guitar riffs and catchy melodies, it's no wonder why it's one of the most celebrated rock genres worldwide.

Song examples:

MOD REVIVAL !

Artists: The Jam, Secret Affair, The Prisoners, The Chords, The Purple Hearts

Most popular Era: Late 70s - 80s

Basic definition: Mod Revival was, as the name states, a revival of mod culture from the 60s. It combines elements of rock, R&B, and punk, with a sharp sound and a love for scooters. Characterized by its energetic and stylish sound, bands like The Jam, The Lambrettas, and The Purple Hearts were at the forefront of the movement, with fast-paced rhythms and catchy melodies that captured the essence of modernist youth culture. The lyrics often touch on themes of fashion, youth rebellion, and love, reflecting the lifestyle and attitudes of the mod subculture.
