Definition: "gay music video night" is a friendgroup activity wherein you and your friends rotate in choosing music videos to show one another. This often emerges organically as opposed to being planned, and as a subset of a larger hangout, e.g. as a pregame activity or winding down. The reason that it's called "gay music video night" is that this activity/ritual is often partaken by queer male friendgroups, and for the veneration of their favourite female pop idols (though no music video is excluded here; please share whatever you wish!)

Ok now that everyone has been briefed: Chrissy Chlapecka truly continues to gag me. Like her cunt level is just so powerful.

She started off with Brat, which was admittedly a studio space and a dream, and still ate down

And now she's putting out incredible videos like Andromeda (which had an insane production turnaround time???)

We need to be including her in the conversation. Her strap stays down my throat and her pleaser on my neck, and I thank her. Chrissanie Chlapenotta You Will Always Be Famous 😍😍😍

The song itself was good but I found the music video a bit lacking tbh I'm sorry 😭😭😭 I need production and drama and this looked like a random small venue concert performance πŸ’€ I do love the lead singer effeminately swaying the whole time, so it will get a passing grade πŸ™‚β€β†•οΈπŸ™‚β€β†•οΈ

This amount of slang that I'm unfamiliar with if not downright confused by in just a few sentences makes me feel very old, white, and cishet πŸ˜¬πŸ˜„

(I like it, though, in case that wasn't clear)

Not gay, but this song was always SUPER fun to sing in Rockband. Not sure if it's too on-the-nose or what, but I stand by it as an absolute banger, regardless of who you're attracted to.

Electric Six - Gay Bar - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XNFokmDKrE

Maybe open with that to lighten the mood? Also, it's only about two minutes long (plus an intro). Plus, taking the piss outta Lincoln.

My best friend's ex-bf was Ukrainian and he showed me music videos for Kazaky. Seemed very gay and the music was cool (synthpop/EDM) and the videos, outfits and dancing seemed really good to me. It made me think of if Lady Gaga did a collar with Rammstein.

This was going to be my suggestion.

This was a really good pick! Very fun and it had a strong pov. Plus, it's about gay shit so very on theme πŸ™‚β€β†•οΈπŸ™‚β€β†•οΈ

I watched his Push music video

This is by far the answer that meets the brief of "gay music video night" the most. Other videos were fun and all mvs are acceptable, but this is the type of video that would be extremely appreciated in that setting. Cunt dancing, genderfuck, punk, an edm type beat, a queer message, it's like perfect. Concocted in a lab to slay

Nice! Glad I was able to help.

I'm not gay myself, so I wasn't quite sure of some of your descriptors, but for a gay-bro music video night, I felt this would have to at least check some of the boxes.

Cool! Glad a few people liked it.

That reminds me, something else that's not quite as on-the-nose, and was also fun as hell to sing on Rockband!

Semi-Precious Weapons - Magnetic Baby: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCl2g_aL8rQ

Now, I always thought this song was gay (or at least LGBTQ+) but he's messing with a girl in the video and now I'm not so sure. But listen to the lyrics, it's at the very least genderqueer.

Bonus: This is what it looked like to us for years: Semi-Precious Weapons - Magnetic Baby (Rockband 2 Full Band Full Combo). This is not us playing, just found this on YouTube. I only ever sang it. I know my wife sang it and played it on drums. Maybe the other instruments. I couldn't do the instruments. I loved to sing it β€” anything punk adjacent was fun as hell to sing. I didn't even like emo (or pay attention to it) until I started playing Rockband. That shit's fun to sing too. I don't care how gay the lyrics are, if it's fun to sing, I was belting it out. Sometimes even sober! (The most fun we had was when we actually had a crowd, friends and whatnot around, they would pick the songs and we would play them, no matter how hard.)
