And Now for Something Completely Different

After the wholesome pop of the last post we come to a few posts of  else entirely.

Strap into your strap-on and let's get humping

Songs of Praise (1991)

Queercore Avant No Wave band from New York City.

The band's lyrics frequently address sexuality and gender. The band states, in their song, "We Signify, "...We're co-opting rock, the language of sexism, to address gender identity on its own terms of complexity...."

The sort of band that would have given Tumblr a massive collective sploosh if Tumblr had existed in the early 90's.

Gender is as Gender Does (1992)

They named themselves oddly enough after a film about a white cis het male perpetuating the oppression of people of color through violence during the 40's. There's also probably something about the Patriarchy and the evils of organized religion there as well, but I'm not going to put words into anybody's mouths.

Anyway Godco co-opts all that shit and turns it into "catchy" short songs of empowerment or something which even as a cis het white American male and thus the very embodiment of all that is evil and wrong with the world, I can enjoy as cultural appropriation or something else very bad.

I ruin everything.
