Definitions

1

The wing of New Orleans bounce led by openly queer, trans, and drag performers — Big Freedia, Katey Red, Sissy Nobby, Vockah Redu. Sonically identical to standard bounce (Triggerman, chants, twerk-ready BPMs); the 'sissy' label is journalistic shorthand the scene itself has mixed feelings about, with Big Freedia preferring just 'bounce'.

“Katey Red basically opened the door for sissy bounce in the late 90s.”
