Queercore: How to Punk a Revolution: An Oral History

Queercore: How to Punk a Revolution: An Oral History
by Lynn Breedlove Foreword, Walter Crasshole Editor, Yony Leyser Editor, Liam Warfield Editor and Anna Joy Springer Foreword
Through exclusive interviews with protagonists like Bruce LaBruce, G.B. Jones, John Waters, and many more, alongside a treasure trove of never-before-seen photographs and reprinted zines, Queercore traces the history of a scene—from its inception in the bedrooms and coffee shops of Toronto and San Francisco by a few young, queer punks, to its emergence as a relevant and real revolution. Queercore gets a down-to-details firsthand account of the movement explored through the people that lived it—from punk's early queer elements, to the moments Toronto kids decided they needed to create a scene that didn't exist, to the infiltration of the mainstream by Pansy Division, and the emergence of riot grrrl as a sister movement—as well as the clothes, zines, art, film, and music that made this movement an exciting, in-your-face middle finger to complacent gay and straight society.
