Poor old Steps are they the poor hapless victims of fashion and our collective fickle caprice?
They always were dreadful though.

I am so excited about this. Steps were HUGE no matter how people frown on them now (shame, queers, shame). 14 (!) consecutive top5 hits. I've always considered their Dec 26 2001 breakup as the end of an era of gay culture.

Yuk....seriously, they may have been important to the gym bunnies who flocked to The Market, Red Raw and some of the other doofdoof nights but they were a drop in the ocean of pop-music not to mention of an utterly shite standard.

I prefer my music to be non-manufactured, without saccharin, loud, fast, independently made...etc

Without this music, the twinks and gym bunnies would be in your bars, listening to your tunes.

Now thank steps for saving your sub culture by making a polar opposite.

I am totally not into boot-scooting...

The twinks and gym bunnies probably wouldn't dream of listening to Crust/first-wave hardcore/metal/industrial/etc.

Steps didn't keep those twinks or gym bunnies out of the Laird on Friday nights either...they were the worst nights to go to the Laird because the plastic peroxided twinks would float over the Yarra to the Laird for cheap drinks and drive out the Bear/Leather crowd so that they could then move onto the Peel and be trashy there...thank fuck this is no longer the case on fridays at the Laird.

It's ok to not like them!! It doesn't mean they weren't huge, seriously huge. I happen to think they were step-tastic and really great and by looking at their sales, I wasn't the only one. Sure they were light weight and had their image manufactured but that wasn't the point. Steps was FUN.
