Femtanyl: most of her songs are breakcore. And the cheeriness of the beat belies what’s said in the lyrcs.
her music is the epitome of “a medieval child would have died if they had listened to this”
That’s an apt description lmao
Let’s go let’s go let’s go!
I’m fond of Animal Sun and Lena Raine!
Obligatory mentions of Laura Jane Grace (Against Me!), Wendy Carlos, Sam Smith, Kim Petras, 100 gecs, Left at London, Nemo, and SOPHIE.
Some of these artists are huge and you’ve probably heard their stuff, but they’re worth listing off anyway.
100 gecs is one of my favourite bands and I’m just now learning that Laura is trans 😅 Kinda dope actually that I’ve followed them for years and haven’t seen anyone misgender her or otherwise be transphobic.
I guess that speaks to the type of person that listens to hyperpop, haha
I figured it out the first time I listened to “dumbest girl alive”. It struck me as a story about a trans woman feeling awkward after transitioning, and I googled it and sure enough she was trans
Wendy Carlos
switched on bach and clockwork orange soundtracks are bangers.
Been a long time since they broke up, but I’ll never stop loving G.L.O.S.S. (Girls Living Outside Society’s Shit)
Lena Raine, known for the soundtrack of Minecraft and Celeste
Lena Raine’s music is truly amazing
- Desert Mambas - Non-binary; blues rock?
- IrisFlower - Trans; shoegaze / indie rock
- Destroy Boys - Unsure (listen to “Boyfeel”); punk rock
- Femtanyl - Trans; breakcore
- Sol Procter - Non-binary; rock
- Against Me! - Trans; anarcho-punk
Honourable mentions:
- My Chemical Romance - Gerard Way uses he/they and has said that they have “always identified a fair amount with the female gender”.
- Alex G - Not queer, but the song “The Same” from RACE is very trans.
Sludge Bunny is good for some punk sounds.
I always go into these music requests threads looking for punk rock and I don’t find much very often but this shit is amazing!! Thank you so much! I’m going to go buy some of their stuff 😊
An excuse to share my weird ass music tastes >:)
Underscores, SOPHIE, Frost Children, Galen Tipton / recovery girl
Frost Children is the only name I don’t know, so I assume we’re the same weird ass person and I’ll probably love them. Thanks!
GEL’s frontenby is a badass, and Queercore classic G.L.O.S.S. is always great too.
Arca, love her
Fake! We all know Teto is true communist.
Sodikken - nb
Cavetown - transmasc
Lilac Boy/Astrid Ztar - transfem
Mallbat - transfem
Shitty kickflips/Rhyme/snakeworld!/they should make larger fruits - transfem
Rio Romeo - nb
Get into folkpunk and you will be drowned in great music where 80% the bands are trans/nonbinary and the others are allies.
Game Genie Sokolov is one of the most talented chiptune / FM-synth artists out there. I especially recommend the albums
Signal LossandInsert Disk 02. Not game music, she writes all-original songs.
