Marc Bolan, arguably the originator of the genre - and certainly it's premier hit maker - claimed that Glam Rock was dead by 1974. He nicknamed it "Sham Rock". He had lost interest in it because people began to jump on the bandwagon. That said, music never really dies out and many modern bands have adopted aspects of Glam Rock.

Those who participated in the genre drew on several past youth cultures, musical styles, movie images and art movements to produce a distinct sound and aesthetic which essentially combined science fiction, nostalgia, camp, theatre, and a hard rock sound.Largely an English phenomenon, glam rock peaked culturally during the period 1971-1973, and was made famous by artists such as Marc Bolan and his band T. Rex, David Bowie, Roxy Music, Brian Eno, Slade, Gary Glitter, Sweet, Mott The Hoople, Alvin Stardust, Sparks, Mud, and Cockney Rebel. In the United States, glam made far less of a commercial impression and was largely confined to enclaves of fans in the cities of New York, Detroit, Cleveland, and Los Angeles. American glam performers included Alice Cooper, Lou Reed, New York Dolls, Kiss, Iggy Pop, Jobriath, and Wayne County.
