Planning-Glam Rock (1970's)

The Glam Rock era also known as the glitter age existed in the 1970's artist from this music age include the likes of Queen and David Bowie. Rockstars from this era pushed the boundaries of sexuality by exploiting homosexuality and promoting this in there videos. Many other rockstars would wear outrageous clothes have heavy makeup and unique hairstyles, this not only showed the changing of a new music age but influenced the formation of the gothic rock we have today.

Noddy Holder to the left shows how unique style was during the 70's from the all in one tartan check outfit to the crazy hear style.





As you can see David Bowie was an iconic artist from this time, during this video he wears female clothes and to anyone watching this video will notice how he is exploiting being a homosexual. This was very rebellious at this time as many kids will look up to these artists and follow in there footsteps. This was also frowned upon by many older generations as being a homosexual isn't as widely accepted as in todays society.
