General
- Punk rock's timeline starts in the late 1960s with Proto-Punk (Stooges, MC5, the New York Dolls, and Velvet Underground), exploded into a cultural phenomenon in the mid-1970s (Ramones, Sex Pistols), diversified wildly in the 1980s (Hardcore, Post-Punk, New Wave), and reintegrated into mainstream music and pop culture in the 1990s/2000s, influencing countless genres while evolving continuously.
- Glam rock's timeline is roughly 1970 to 1974, emerging from late '60s influences, peaking with theatricality and androgyny in '72-'73, and fading by '75 as punk rock took over
