Glam punk (or glitter punk) is a music genre that mixes elements of glam rock with protopunk or punk rock (and sometimes garage rock). The most influential glam punk band has been New York Dolls, whose androgynous image and raw, loose music style laid down a blueprint for the genre. Other notable acts who have been described as glam punk include Hanoi Rocks, Manic Street Preachers and D Generation. "Another Hostile Takeover", ArtistDirect.com, Retrieved on January 8, 2008.
