Influence
The New York Dolls helped spark the beginning of punk rock, with Malcolm McClaren informally managing them in 1975, before returning to England, where he and Vivienne Westwood used the New York Dolls, as well as other bands that they had seen while in New York, as inspiration for punk fashion and the creation of the Sex Pistols. They also influenced the glam metal scene that emerged in the 1980s, through the adoption of glam aesthetics by bands including Hanoi Rocks and Guns N' Roses.
The term has been used to describe later bands who combined glam aesthetics with punk music, including the early Manic Street Preachers. Glam punk was a major influence on bands of the New York post-punk revival that included D Generation, The Toilet Boys, The Realistics, and The Strokes.
