    Hi, I know nothing about the drag scene, curious about the definition here.

    I thought drag was specifically men dressing up as women, is drag any gender putting on too much makeup and wearing gaudy outfits?

    It’s just the look?

      It’s not just the look, it’s performative. It can be any sex assigned at birth and any gender - including nonbinary, as the subject of the article identifies.

      Depending on your viewpoint, there’s an argument to be made that KISS, Alice Cooper, and many hair metal bands were a form of drag.
