Many rock stars pave the way for future musicians, and create music and lyrics that are incendiary and even revolutionary. People from all over the world flock to famous bands and wish for nothing more to be on that stage themselves- or, at the very least, to be considered the friends (or lovers) of those musicians.

Millions of people long for the kind of fame and wealth that comes with being a rock star. It’s all too easy to imagine that lifestyle as nothing but glamorous and filled with parties. However, many rock stars fall into alcoholism and drug abuse. They live hard and fast lives, often neglecting to care for their bodies, and they end up paying for it dearly later in life. The rock stars who are lucky to live past their thirties frequently develop cancer as a result of frequent drinking, smoking, and drug use.
In the moment, however, being a rock star really is all it’s chalked up to be. Not only do the best rock stars have all the money they could want to live luxurious lifestyles, but they can date virtually any woman they want to. Many rock stars spend their free time at exclusive parties and mingling with people just as famous as they are. It’s no wonder so many people want to be rock stars!
In the 1960s, people found a new way to touch the untouchable. In 1965, the term “groupie” was formed. It referred to extreme fans of certain bands, and these people would follow the bands on tour in hopes of getting near the beloved musicians. Over time, however, the term “groupie” began to refer more and more to women who slept with the musicians of famous bands. While many of these groupies insisted they were there to inspire the musicians’ future songs and albums, many were simply there to sleep with someone famous.
While groupies still exist today, they were most prevalent during the 70s, when many high profile rock stars were at their peak.While the life of a groupie may sound glamorous to some, it was actually quite dangerous. Many rock stars were known for being abusive or predatory, and often engaged in illegal sexual activity with minors.
