      Early 2000s vampire stuff was not gay. Somehow, the gayness as taken over.

      Not a bad thing, just interesting.

        I suspect it’s more just that 1990s gay men didn’t code themselves that much in the way of fashion.

        Some were swept up in grunge, others went normcore, many wanted a career so coded themselves around that.

        The Lost boys might equally be a bunch of California grunge gays, but that has no visual coding to it to be seen.

          Possible. A lot of 1990s gay men were very fabulous but I suppose plenty kept it more low key since it was less acceptable back then.
