>>130964523back in this time probably niche jazz and torch singers. there's a specific aesthetic that gay guys are attracted to usually female singers who specialize in the campy and flamboyant.
Duran Duran
>>130980450>Once they were accepted in society, they became tragically uncool.this is moral dilemma i deal with often. i want to be homophobic for their own good. to see what their community has devolved into, i feel bad.
>>130980413I had an older gay neighbor who swore by Patti Lupone and refused to listen to the Madonna version of Evita. Madonna still has a gay fanbase but there was a falling out in the 90s. A gay house DJ made a track making fun of her for ghosting him.https://youtu.be/gPdra7S35Rg>>130980818>barbra streisandDefinitely>>130980987>Judy GarlandExtremely>>130981096>there's a specific aesthetic that gay guys are attracted to usually female singers who specialize in the campy and flamboyant.Yeah. Campy, dramatic, theatrical. Mylene Farmer is the ultimate French gay icon:https://youtu.be/HiXO-cSWgVQ
>>130982109Madonna is controversial in the gay community, some of them think she was a cynical exploiter who co-opted gay culture and marketed it for profit.
>>130981096I've heard that people like Eartha Kitt were popular with gays back then. Don't think they were really into housewife pop singers though.
spandau balletsynth pop in general
>>130982134Yeah.Lady Gaga filled her lane I think. Campiness is like over-the-top melodrama.https://youtu.be/8EvMc_S7Zp0>>130982144>Eartha Kitt Yeah, she's been remixed in gay club musichttps://youtu.be/21RbWMtvbMc
>>130980413They have always loved fat, ugly, tragic "diva" women like Judy Garland and Aretha Franklin.
>>130982134Madonna has an IRL faggot brother so it made sense for to have an 'in' with fags. She was also a dancer in the NYC club scene and paid her dues, so to speak. She didn't become famous until she was 27. >>130982206Gaga's pandering has always been more cynical and blatant but fags just keep lapping her slop up.
>>130982207Wendy Williams. Not a singer though but same vibe.
>>130982134i could never buy into that angle, it feels completely forced. she undeniably did more good than harm. she wasn't the first person to "sanitize" house music for mass appeal, and even if she was it's not a war crime that she understands the most basic optics. there were already a number of synthpop hits about the dark seedy struggle, let her have a happy song you histrionic midwits.
Before recorded music, fags were fans of opera singers like Nellie Melba.
>>130982265>Sanitize Madonna was explicitly sexually provocative when she hit the mainstream. Reggie Lucas produced her first album, Nile Rodgers her second.
>>130982246>Gaga's pandering has always been more cynical and blatant but fags just keep lapping her slop up.Her pandering is risky yeah, it can be better to sort of despise a gay audience. But she's also despotic and gothic so it has continued to work for her, compared to Katy Perry for example. You have to be kind of batshit and threaten the audience into loving you. It's a bit like Warhammer 40K but for gayshttps://youtu.be/b0zzlxII9EU
>>130982310How is her pandering risky? What are fags gonna do, riot? There is nothing risky about pandering to retarded meth brained homosexuals.
usually the more tacky, overly sexualized kind of girl singers. contrary to popular assumption most straight men actually don't like slutpop and find it gross. they like the innocent, waif-ish girl next door kind of singer.
>>130982330I'm talking about their own careers you moron and how to effectively exploit gays into giving you their money
>>130982299i'm only referring to the infamous dj sprinkles diatribe which a lot of people seem to identify with
>>130980413Diana Ross and Donna Summer were essential gay -core in the 80s, which is hilarious as both of them said it was a sin and against their religious beliefs but because they were black they couldn't be cancelled and faggots had to just sit and take it.
>>130982352so, my dad was a maintenance man at an apartment complex in California back in the 80s...>have these two gay guys as upstairs neighbors, both muscle daddies who worked out a lot>you could hear their exercise equipment clanking every evening followed by the floor squeaking as they would fuck after their workout>once they went on a trip out of town for the weekend and asked him to fix some kind of electrical problem in the apartment>my dad goes in there and the wall is totally covered with Diana Ross photos and posters like some of weird shrine to heryeah...
>>130982407>so, my dad was a maintenance man at an apartment complex in California back in the 80s...that must have generated plenty of fascinating character pieces
>>130982336>contrary to popular assumption most straight men actually don't like slutpop and find it gross. they like the innocent, waif-ish girl next door kind of singer.Straight men like weird nerd girl singers like Kate Bush, PJ Harvey, Grimes, whatever.
>>130982488>Straight men like weird nerd girl singers like Kate Bush, PJ Harvey, Grimes, whatever.guys like this need to be put in camps
>>130982488there's three types. those, the gay kind of camp singers like Gaga, and the ones that basic NPC women listen to
>>130980788they gave all this up for taylor swift? yikes, gay people.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Pov0MKuyJfg&ra=m

>>130980413Cher and Musical Soundtracks
I am the walruse
>>130980413George Michael and Judas Priest.
>>130987434they were considered almost aggressively straight-core in their day
Liberace
>>130980413I am not a gay guy. I just appreciate a nice synthpop song like any other straight guy who has had sex with men but prefers women.
