Another Canadian queer band that had mainstream success with a gay rights anthem was The Parachute Club with Rise Up.  It's a lot more pop.

_She's a cool blonde scheming bitch
She makes my body twitch
Walking down the corridor

You can hear her stilettos click
I want her so much I feel sick
The girl can't help it, she really can't help it now

It's like a highschool, high school confidential
High school, a high school confidential

Teenage Brandos stalk her in the halls
They tease her with cat calls
She's a combination Anita Eckberg Mamie van Doren
Dagmar high school confidential

What's the principal doin' with her?
Who's that guy, is he screwing with her?
What's her perfume? Tigress by Fabergé
It makes me cream my jeans
When she's coming my way

High school, high school confidential
High school, a high school confidentia_l

I'd also helped Will Monroe in Toronto organize Vaseline - which was a set of Queer parties..

Oh Hun!

I was involved in Queercore.  I've just never heard of Homo Emo.

In what way were tou involved in Queercore?

I was involved in Queercore.  I've just never heard of Homo Emo.

Is Homo Emo the same as Queercore?  ie. Pansy Division.

I love Pansy Division.

Queercore (or homocore), is a cultural and social movement that began in the mid-1980s as an offshoot of punk. It is distinguished by its discontent with society in general, and specifically society's disapproval of the gay, bisexual, lesbian and transgender communities.

That means Homo Emo is not the same as Queercore!

I love Pansy Division.

Folk metal, happy hardcore, chillwave, neo-polka, crunkcore, screamo, comedy rap, country truck-driving, dubstep, and homo-emo.   :crazy2:

Homo emo..

I'm hopeful that there's a new generation of artists learning their craft through Youtube.  The music industry can give us Boyband after Boyband but it takes years of work and experimentation to develop someone like a David Bowie.

I cannot live without Bach or Mozart. The Baroque, Classical periods are my favourites. Some Beethoven, Handel, Haydn, Schubert, Vivaldi, Scarlatti and so on. I like some 20th Century Music; most 19th Century music I detest.

I love pop from the 60's 70's 80's and early 90's. Europ pop from that period too.

Today's popular music I dislike.

I think most people don't try to listen to Classical music.

If you listen to Beethoven you'll learn all there is about Beethoven
If you listen to Bach you'll learn all there is about God.
If you listen to Mozart, you'll learn all there is about Humanity.

Lovely quote. I wish I knew who said it.

I feel the same way about pop and disco that most gay men feel about Death Metal.  It is painful to listen to the auto-tuning and click tracks.  I refer to it as a case of musical diabetes.

There are of course some genres that never appealed to me like hip-hop/rap (dont know the difference, sorry), most metal genres, reggae.

Pop, rap, alternative, electro, punk, a little bit of everything

A little bit of everything..
