80's 90's and early 2000s NYC club scene was unreal!! The energy was insane. Doing after hours, walking out of a club 1-2pm on a Sunday afternoon wondering what world you were just in is something I don't think will ever replicated again...at least in NYC. The things that went on inside, what you saw, people you saw, and experiences were incredible. It was just one big happy fest and best of all....no camera phones and social media to ruin it.

That's over 100 years of getting dressed to the 9's, staying out all night to the wee hours of the mourning, dancing, drinking and doing drugs, laughing your ass off and having a fucking amazing time. I'd say that's a pretty decent legacy so far. LOL. Night life/clubbing/rave doesn't seem to be dying any time soon that's for sure! Rave festivals are only getting bigger and bigger.

Like RuPaul said, people like them have always been around. Every generation (at least in modern history) has had artistic type people who want to buck the norms of society and express themselves in their own unique way....Flappers, Beatnicks, Haippies, etc. The "new" thing with this group was the large amount of drag and open homosexuality. I wonder why there weren't any former hippies in the audience who could have spoken up for those kids. Most older people in the 60s thought that the hippie crowd wouldn't be able to integrate into society and be leaders, but they did, and I'm sure the majoroty of the kids on this show went on to lead productive lives.

Mama Ru!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️ I miss my younger days when I could go to the clubs and get no sleep and still work a full-time job and even go to school part-time. Back then I needed like 2 hours sleep and I was fine LOL from what I can remember I had a blast so no regrets

what people don't understand is that talk shows were the front line of progress. nobody would have given that group any air time. when these kind of shows came on, those of us who were fighting for gay rights were very excited.

Might be nice if you knew the scene and how to read between the lines but for the general audience, this show was terrible. They do just show the extremes, cut off anytime an actual point is made or discussion happens about the philosophies behind it all. Then the weak attempt to push the drug angle. Publicity like this is worse than no publicity other than it might have inspired people to join this culture.

I can get it. Even if they were massively being condescended to, this was the only outlets that would present them. We have the luxury now of platforms like youtube where people can make their own content. But back in the day? I know it was stuff like this, and the artists of the cartoons I watched, etc., that gave me an inkling of 'hey, there's a world out there that's glamorous and amazing, and you can be fierce and yourself, and it's ok.' And I needed that. Even if I was only a little kid wishing I could be as badass as the rocker chicks in media. I needed to know that the world wasn't terrible and bland. Even now, we're watching DESPITE the intended tone, because we want to see these people at the time, talking about their experiences. These are the documents we have.

Even back then, you could totally tell Rupaul would have the world eating out of her hand one day. She's smart, funny, charismatic, personable. She really had that star quality, and she knew how to focus and harness that. She started an EMPIRE! And we love her!

I love how the dad stood up to his son.

It's actually amazing to see Ru's consistency throughout his career. Positive, intelligent, poised, insightful. Everybody say LOVE.

Ru has always promoted and projected this. This has always been the ru brand. A ray of Sunshine and a Big Warm hug.. Obviously people are more complex than one's brand. And things change. But it's a great brand!

Thanks for sharing, Janet. From Dallas, we put on the biggest of DJ's and all of NY Club kids (Michael Alig, Asto Earl, Jennytalia, Junky Johnathan, Sasha, Waltpaper)...I had 4404 Productions, a 30,000 sqf warehouse on 4404 Main street downtown/Deep Elum established as my personal residence. Hired off duty police officers, engage non profit gay and lesbian alliances as beneficiaries, 21 and up with an open bar (technically liquor given, not sold) and it worked great. Partnering with those socially sensitive entities gave code enforcers no green light to raid.

I just love that fact that the most successful person in that room is miss rupaul her self

I remember watching Geraldo every day after school. Way before talk tv took over.

This was basically the Studio 54 crowd! (among others) LOL, went there when I was 17 with cousins, had a blast but unfortunately never went back. Even though this was in '90, I went to 54 in '77, AND as a side note, at 15:05 was the older woman who used to frequent "54" as can be seen in the movie "Studio 54" with Mike Myers, but she was portrayed by an actress of course. These were great times and mems!

RuPaul is such a BOSS QUEEN, she handled this whole thing with such grace and confidence, and certainly took control of Geraldo attempts to be snarky and rude. She handed it back ten-fold and 1,000% better

Watching these shows so many years later it’s amazing how much Geraldo always shifts the focus to the drug use, he did so many club kid shows and everyone of them he tried to get them to admit to drug use, it’s almost like he was running a sting for the DEA.

In 2020, Geraldo’s ill-fitting mustard suit is more laughable than the club kids’ drag.
