    Thanks.

    Yeah I definitely identified those bands as drag, I just didn’t know it could be anyone.

    So look plus performance equals drag?

    Thanks

      I think humour is a key part of what separates drag from just regular performance. The artist isn’t afraid to make fun of themselves and just have fun.

        That’s a good point.

        There has to be something over the top about the performance, right?

        Because I think of David bowie and obviously he had different personalities and quite flashy costumes, but it would be difficult for me to say he was doing drag, partly because he was so poised.

        It’s definitely an interesting piece of culture.
