Queercore
Punk music with lyrics exploring themes of prejudice and dealing with issues such as sexual identity, gender identity, and the rights of the individual; more generally, queercore bands offer a critique of society endemic to their position within it, sometimes in a light-hearted way, sometimes seriously. Queercore groups encompass many genres such as hardcore punk, electropunk, indie rock, power pop, no wave, noise, experimental, industrial, and others. 1985– .
