1984: The Year Pop Went Queer
1984 Pop Went Queer - Book - by Ian Wade
(2024)
In 1984: The Year Pop Went Queer, writer and musician Ian Wade charts
where these artists, including Queen, George Michael, David Bowie, Pet
Shop Boys, Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Madonna - who all enjoyed chart
success in 1984 - were during that epoch-making year. It studies the
impact these groundbreaking musicians had before, during and after on
the gay community and popular culture, and it demonstrates how they were
able to break down barriers, raise consciousness and set in motion the
first nascent ripples in a pond that are still being felt today.
As a backdrop, it explores the strides made in the name of the cause
and how the wider surrounding culture reacted with equal parts glee,
bafflement and disgust.
