AIDS wiped out an entire generation and the culture around it. I've wondered about how much was lost during that time period. You look at modern-day pride events and film festivals and see most of them started in the 90s and 2000s. Very few of those annual customs from the 80s and before survived to today. Then there's subcultures and venues that were around for decades we will probably never know about because they were wiped out.
