Glam punk (or glitter punk) is a music genre that mixes elements of glam rock with protopunk or punk rock (and sometimes garage rock).
Notable acts who have been described as glam punk include D Generation.[1]

1980s: England and United States[edit]
The 1980s saw a re-emergence of the glam punk style with the band Hanoi Rocks.[2] In the United States, a music style dubbed sleaze rock or sleaze glam was somewhat related to glam punk. Bands of this genre, such as Guns N' Roses, Faster Pussycat, and L.A. Guns were influenced by New York Dolls and Iggy Pop. Sleaze rock bands also incorporated hard rock and heavy metal elements not found in pure glam punk.
1990s: international revivals[edit]
In the 1990s, the glam punk image was unpopular, but punk rock-influenced music was on the rise with grunge music acts such as Nirvana. Bands such as New York City's D Generation became popular in the underground scene and received critical acclaim from Rolling Stone magazine.[3] However, the critical acclaim did not result in high album sales. Around the same time, Welsh band Manic Street Preachers played a similar musical style.[4] Their 1991 debut Generation Terrorists drew influences from The Clash and Hanoi Rocks, and like in the case of D Generation, their album received critical acclaim, but poor album sales.[5]
