Queercore is a SubGenre overlapping PunkRock and PostPunk originating in TheEighties which focuses on LGBT themes, especially sex and romance among homosexuals, cultural values, and intolerance towards LGBTI persons. While not all punk or post-punk bands that work with such themes consider themselves 'queercore', there have been several bands that have taken that moniker willingly. There is a strong overlap with the RiotGrrrl, {{AnarchoPunk}}, HardcorePunk, and powerviolence subcultures.
