Queercore is a subgenre of punk that focuses on LGBT issues.[1] Queercore is an anti-establishment subculture based around a rejection of heteronormativity.[2] This rejection extends beyond mainstream society and resists homophobia in the larger punk scene.[1] Queercore is an offshoot of the hardcore punk scene, drawing it's name from a combination of the words "queer" and "hardcore."[3] As in the larger punk scene, DIY is an integral component of the queercore subculture. Many zines, such as Chainsaw, that came out of the riot grrrl subculture explored issues of queer identity, contributing to queercore culture.[4] The queercore and riot grrrl subcultures are often considered to be connected.[4] These two punk scenes are intertwined, with many bands being both queercore and riot grrrl.[1]
