During the late 80s and into the early 90s, a wave of social disruption emerged through the queer subculture of punk in response to evident homophobia and ostratcization. It came in the form of music, writing, film—practically anything that allowed for self-expression and that clashed against the dominator culture of the time. It’s rejection of the cultural status quo and the confident assertion of gender and sexuality was controversial. The unique stylistic approach of QueerCore through fashion and bodily expression specifically coincided with the other objects—another example of how the way people dress and present their body was used as a form of protest, retaliation, art, and resistance.
