NONCONFORMITY

It’s goal was to not only provoke the homophobia in every sector (be it within the LGBTQ community or externally), but also to emphasize how paramount self-expression was. Queercore extensively highlighted issues of sexual and gender identity, focusing the narrative on the individual and what the individual wanted. At the time, there was clear war of queer boys and girls versus “prehistroic thinking and self-serving politics”—a clash between old stagnant ideas of “continuity, identity and reproduction” and newer ideas of “discontinuity, rupture, difference and revolution” (Plessis and Chapman, 1997). QueerCore was truly about out with old, and in with the new.
