New York City-based art-pop musician Prince Johnny is bringing queer history to a whole new generation with their debut EP, Stupid Sex, which addresses the beginning of the AIDS epidemic as well as the freewheeling, Studio 54, sexually liberated era that preceded it. The closing track, “Sex Party,” leaves you with nostalgic interview sound bites from the bittersweet documentary Gay Sex in the ’70s of gay men recounting the terror and joy of their youth. “I believe the trauma the queer community experienced in the AIDS epidemic has impacted each generation since in a profound and pervasive way,” they say.
