Glam punk is a music genre that mixes elements of glam rock with protopunk or punk rock. Acts like Iggy Pop are considered by some as glam punk, likely due to his androgynous image and the protopunk sound of his band, The Stooges. Some of the more obscure glam punk bands of the 1970s — such as Hollywood Brats, the Jook, Milk ‘N’ Cookies and Jet — can be heard on the compilation CD Glitterbest: 20 Pre Punk 'n' Glam Terrace Stompers. In the 1990s, glam punk band D Generation became popular in the underground scene and received critical acclaim from Rolling Stone magazine.
