Synthpop group Bronski Beat’s 1984 debut single “Smalltown Boy” is an anthemic hit about growing up queer in rural England. It was a brave, surprising hit upon its release, and it remains culturally present today, to the point that the song soundtracked a TikTok challenge when it turned 40 this year. Now, there’s a new version of “Smalltown Boy” from Perfume Genius and production duo the Knocks.
