# Twisted Sister

**Twisted Sister** is a heavy metal band, from United States, active 1972 to present.

Twisted Sister is an American heavy metal band formed in 1972 in Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey, and later based on Long Island, New York. Their best-known songs include "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock", both of which were associated with music videos noted for their sense of slapstick humour. Besides their music, the band is equally remembered for their hairstyles and for wearing androgynous clothing and makeup, leading to their categorization in the hair metal scene of the 1980s.
