1980s Glam Rockers Making Punk Look Good

All zebra prints, leather and glitter.

By Sabrina Fernandez

Published 1 month ago in Feels

There was a feeling of rebellion that rewired how everyone looked in the 1980s, introducing big hair, louder guitars, more glitter and this nonchalant attitude that could be felt in the air, that’s how glam rock entered the mainstream.


The 80s weren’t about fitting in, but about being as loud as you could, especially under neon lights. The scene was all about big egos, glitter and smoke, in a way that was unapologetic and effortlessly cool.


This was a decade that felt more like a stage show, even when there wasn’t one. People lived for the spectacle and for the thrill of it. Everyone could feel the energy and the need to be under the spotlight, it was chaos but they made it look great.
