Popular music has always been a dynamic mediator of gender and
sexuality, and a productive site of rebellion, oddity and
queerness. The transformative capacity of music-making, performance
and consumption helps us to make sense of identity and allows us to
glimpse otherworldliness, arousing the political imagination. With
an activist voice that is impassioned yet adherent to scholarly
rigour, Playing it Queer provides an original and compelling
ethnographic account of the relationship between popular music,
queer self-fashioning and (sub)cultural world-making. This book
begins with a comprehensive survey and critical evaluation of
relevant literatures on queer identity and political debates as
well as popular music, identity and (sub)cultural style.
Contextualised within a detailed history of queer sensibilities and
creative practices, including camp, drag, genderfuck, queercore,
feminist music and club cultures, the author's rich empirical
studies of local performers and translocal scenes intimately
capture the meaning and value of popular musics and (sub)cultural
style in everyday queer lives.
