Choircore - chastity movement from the 1960s
Share
Rolling Stone has an awesome article about "choircore", a cultural platform from the 1960s in USA that "offered a bizarro alternative to sex, drugs and rock & roll, replacing it with chasteness, soda pop and show tunes". "With choircore, adults were able to pretend that the rock & roll revolution wasn’t really happening — or, at least, to maybe ensure that some of the youth of the Sixties didn’t fall prey to it by offering up another, more virtuous option", it says. One of the projects from that movement, Young Americans, still exists and tours the world. Check out what it was here.
