Drag is a type of performance art and the people involved dress up and perform, often in highly stylized ways. In the United States, early examples of drag clothing can be found in gold rush saloons in California.

On stage and screen, the actor-playwright-screenwriter-producer Tyler Perry has also included his drag character of Madea in some of his most noted productions.

Drag is used to challenge traditional gender norms whilst exploring one’s own gender identity. RuPaul’s Drag Race which first premiered in 2009 as a television show in the United States has exposed multiple generations of audiences to drag culture.
