Queercore: How to Punk a Revolution
A direct testimony of the queer community around punk, hardcore and society
by Yony Leyser
Description
Yony Leyser developed the idea for Queercore: How to Punk a Revolution during a tour with a group of queer artists. Years later, the acquired baggage would be translated into the acclaimed documentary project of which this book offers for the first time a translation.
Here it is made clear that punk and queer are not musical styles or genres, but ideals worth fighting for. Ways to make the world we live in a better and more fun place.
Leyser takes up the legacy of queercore to fight against any kind of conformism, encouraging the audience to break free and constitute a liberating and transforming force in society.
Brimming with testimonials from icons such as Peaches, John Waters, Bruce LaBruce, Billie Joe Amstrong, Jodi Bleyle and Lynn Breedlove, this book is a treasure trove for the queer community.
