Hard Glam
Hard glam is a modern, heavier take on glam’s theatrical hard rock tradition. It marries the hook-forward, chorus-driven songwriting and flamboyant image of classic glam rock/metal with beefier guitars, tighter double‑time grooves, and a more aggressive vocal delivery. Riffs tend to be muscular and mid‑tempo to fast, solos are flashy and melodic, and choruses stack big gang vocals. Lyrics lean into nightlife, desire, rebellion, and rock ’n’ roll bravado, updated with a 21st‑century sheen. On stage, hard glam keeps the showmanship—high-energy performances, coordinated looks, and crowd‑baiting call‑and‑response—while studio productions favor punchy, modern rock sonics: saturated rhythm guitars, cutting leads, present lead vocals with layered harmonies, and hard-hitting drums.

Glam Metal
Glam metal (often called hair metal) is a flamboyant strain of 1980s hard rock and heavy metal defined by high-energy riffs, anthemic choruses, and glossy, radio-ready production. It pairs the swagger of hard rock with pop hooks, multi-tracked vocal harmonies, and virtuosic guitar solos. Visually, the style is theatrical: teased hair, makeup, spandex, and flashy stagewear echo the glam rock of the 1970s, while the music embraces both party-ready anthems and power ballads. The sound is big, bright, and built for arenas and MTV-era music television.

Glam
Glam (often called glam rock or glitter rock) is a theatrical, hook-driven strain of rock that emerged in the early 1970s. It pairs stomping, danceable backbeats and chunky guitar riffs with bright, sing-along choruses and a flamboyant visual aesthetic—platform boots, sequins, glitter, and androgynous fashion. While musically rooted in straightforward rock and roll and bubblegum pop, glam embraces artful persona-building and camp, drawing on music hall and vaudeville showmanship. The result is music that is immediate and catchy yet knowingly stylized, celebrating fantasy, youth, fame, and self-invention.

Garage Rock
Garage rock is a raw, energetic style of rock music that emerged in the mid-1960s from local scenes across North America. Typically performed by amateur or semi-professional teenage bands in basements and suburban garages, the sound is unpolished and immediate, favoring feel over finesse. Its hallmarks include distorted guitars, pounding drums, simple chord progressions (often I–IV–V), prominent Farfisa/Vox organ riffs, and shouted, attitude-heavy vocals. Songs are short, hooky, and driven by rhythmic urgency, with lyrics about teenage love, boredom, rebellion, and swagger. The style became a direct ancestor of proto-punk and punk rock, prized for its do-it-yourself spirit and visceral impact.

Rock
Rock is a broad family of popular music centered on amplified instruments, a strong backbeat, and song forms that foreground riffs, choruses, and anthemic hooks. Emerging from mid‑20th‑century American styles like rhythm & blues, country, and gospel-inflected rock and roll, rock quickly expanded in scope—absorbing folk, blues, and psychedelic ideas—while shaping global youth culture. Core sonic markers include electric guitar (often overdriven), electric bass, drum kit emphasizing beats 2 and 4, and emotive lead vocals. Rock songs commonly use verse–chorus structures, blues-derived harmony, and memorable melodic motifs, ranging from intimate ballads to high‑energy, stadium‑sized performances.
