Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat is an influential synth-pop anthem that resonates deeply with themes of alienation and seeking acceptance. Released in 1984, the song became a powerful narrative about the struggles faced by a young gay man leaving his provincial town. The music video, directed by Bernard Rose, is poignant, depicting the story with a compelling visual narrative that complements the song’s emotive lyrics.
