Why is Björk's average fan a Mexican gay guy?

In a 2016 interview with Another Magazine Björk said: “...some guy did an online survey of where my fans were… and apparently my typical fan is a 20-year-old Mexican gay guy! I was really proud!”

Last season I talked to a dozen or so fans about why Björk's music resonates with the LGBTQ+ community. If you haven’t listened to that episode yet, definitely check it out. It’s called “LGBTQ + Björk.”

But since researching that episode, I’ve been wondering about the other part of this quote — why is her typical fan a Mexican gay guy?

So in this episode, I’ll talk to some Björk fans from Mexico about why her music resonates there. And together we’ll come up with three potential reasons.
