How would you rank the most homoerotic decades in pop culture/media?

Music 🎶🎧
  1. 1980s: Interestingly, even though the decade was politically conservative, pop culture and media often went in the opposite direction. Straight male artists like Prince and glam metal stars embraced colorful outfits and makeup. Music videos frequently had playful, flamboyant vibes, and many openly gay artists achieved major success, like Pet Shop Boys, George Michael, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Culture Club, and Dead or Alive. New Wave fashion consisted of makeup, teased hair, and eyeliner.

  2. 1970s: The era was defined by crop tops, chest hair, and leather, heavily influenced by disco culture. Artists like Sylvester, the Village People, David Bowie, Marc Bolan, and Roxy Music popularized androgyny and flamboyant styles.

  3. 2020s (unpopular opinion): Gender-fluid fashion, exemplified by Harry Styles. Trans artists like Kim Petras are gaining recognition, and LGBTQ+ themed TV shows and movies with high-profile actors such as Jacob Elordi, Pedro Pascal, and Daniel Craig are now widely produced. Openly gay pop stars like Lil Nas X and Troye Sivan and even Sam Smith, despite people demonizing him
