"Jon Savage explodes new ground in this electrifying history of pop music from 1955 through 1979. In demonstrating that gay and lesbian artists were responsible for many of the greatest cultural breakthroughs in the last half of the twentieth century, he shows that it was their secretly encoded music―appealing to a closeted but greatly oppressed public―which led to the historic dismantling of discriminatory gay laws and the fusion of queer and straight culture.". 20250305.
