Village People

The Village People are an iconic American disco group formed in 1977, known for their catchy songs and vibrant costumes that represent various stereotypical male roles, like a police officer, construction worker, and cowboy. Their music, including hits like "YMCA" and "Macho Man," celebrated themes of masculinity and LGBTQ+ culture, becoming anthems for the gay community. The group’s energetic performances and distinctive sound contributed to the disco movement of the late 1970s, making them a lasting symbol of that era's music and cultural landscape. Their work continues to influence pop culture today.
