#Re-appraising Hi-Nrg : the queer soundtrack to the 1980s
David Carroll
#Documento (.pdf)    
#Abstract
Only in recent decades has the appraisal of pop music gained footing in musicology (Buckley, 2003). Pop’s many intersections with gender and sexualities have been well documented (Bullock, 2017; Gill, 1995; Whitely, 2000), but this paper argues that a comprehensive analysis of the genesis and impact of the 1980s genre of pop music, Hi-Nrg, remains unrecorded. The paper unearths the history and trajectory of the genre and affirms its place as a cultural milestone. Emerging as a sub-genre of disco, the paper illustrates how its characteristics were innately queer, in terms of its origins, and in its thematic content. From these original DIY roots, the rise of Hi-Nrg, and its subsequent appropriation, into one of the defining pop sounds of the late 1980s, is documented.
