Bronski Beat - Hit That Perfect Beat (Official Music Video)

[@fac5158]

If you were a teen in the 80's you were lucky enough be born in the greatest musical time ever! wedged between, prog rock, new wave, new romantics, post punk, punk, disco, house, rap, acid house, disco and great electro tracks like this.

At least younger people can still listen to it now, but imagine dying before hearing any of this music… Tragic

RIP Steve Bronski. Although not gay, I was a fan of 80's synth music as a teenager and their first two singles in particular opened my eyes to a world I had zero insight into at age 16 and the struggles that gay people faced. Changed my outlook and let more understanding into my life, for which I am forever grateful.

Thank you again for the legacy you left for us. Truly you never died.

[@thebeardedseeker5633]

In the 80s, even music with dark and depressing lyrics generally had a dancy beat. Music these days is absolutely no fun; everyone takes themselves way too seriously.

[@Aramanth]

Still a great Hi-NRG track! Classic 80s...

[@SpencerMusicSchool]

RIP Steve Bronski. Bronski was the voice of LGBTQ in our generation. One of my happiest memories was dancing with my partner Billy to Beat Boy at Disneyland's Videopolis the year of my high school graduation (1986) and the relief and promise that I would finally be able to leave my homophobic/pious Christian family and live authentically. HIT THAT PERFECT BEAT.

[@alucan2991]

Graduated in 1985 and came out in college in 1986 with my college friends. Smalltown Boy is thee coming out anthem and Bronski Beat, The Pet Shop Boys, Marc Almond/Soft Cell, New Order, Erasure, Depeche Mode and Dead or Alive were integral to our experience. Some great and important songs from that time. RIP Steve Bronski

Bronski basically invented HI NRG music and never got enough credit for what came afterwards. Hardcore/techno and the entire rave scene of the 90's was hugely influenced by HI NRG and Bronski was a founding father of that scene.

[@henrywallace7996]

No, Hi-NRG was popular in gay clubs since the late 70s. Divine, Sylvester, Patrick Cowley, Bobby O were all before Bronski.

[@kiryuchan860]

@@henrywallace7996 that's true, to say "invented" was pretty silly to say especially in dismissing Aitken and Waterman. I had a few drinks but the overall sentiment of my comment I stand by.

[@henrywallace7996]

@@kiryuchan860 I for one would readily dismiss SAW, as they did nothing for Hi-NRG but turn it into derivative dance-pop fluff after the genre had already peaked in the gay discos. A more deserving act who translated the club sounds into pop music (besides Bronski Beat) was the Pet Shop Boys, whose adoption of house and techno in the 90s drew a direct link between 80s disco and modern forms of dance music.
