Yony Leyser developed the idea of Queercore: How to Punk a Revolution during a tour with a group of queer artists. Years later, the experience gained would be translated into the acclaimed documentary project, of which this book offers, for the first time, a Spanish translation.

Here it is made clear that punk and queerness are not musical styles or genres, but ideals worth fighting for. Ways to make the world we live in a better and more fun place. Leyser takes up the legacy of queercore to combat any form of conformism, encouraging the public to liberate themselves and become a transformative force in society.

Brimming with testimonies from icons like Peaches, John Waters, Bruce LaBruce, Billie Joe Armstrong, Jodi Bleyle, and Lynn Breedlove, this book is a true treasure for the queer community.
