Queercore

Queercore is a subgenre of punk rock that emerged in the 1980s as a response to the homophobia and misogyny that were prevalent in the punk scene. It is characterized by its DIY ethos, political activism, and queer themes. Queercore bands often challenge gender and sexual norms with their music and lyrics, and their music has been an important outlet for LGBTQ+ artists and fans. Some notable queercore bands include Pansy Division, Team Dresch, and The Butchies.
