Sleaze Rock
Sleaze rock is a high-energy, guitar-driven genre characterized by its raw, unapologetic sound and unbridled hedonism. Emerging in the late 1970s and peaking in the 1980s, sleaze rock drew from punk, glam, and hard rock to create a distinctive sound marked by driving rhythms, sleazy guitar riffs, and raspy, often snarling vocals. Born on the Sunset Strip, sleaze rock embodied the excess and rebellion of the era, with its lyrics frequently exploring themes of sex, partying, and rebellion. With its irreverent attitude, sleaze rock influenced later genres like grunge and punk revival, while also drawing from blues and classic rock traditions. Notable for its unapologetic swagger and unbridled energy, sleaze rock remains a beloved and enduring genre that continues to inspire new generations of rock enthusiasts.
