Why is this and how do the capture the exact feeling of self destructive mania so well
Idk what here counts as indie and what doesn’t, especially cause most of us are kinda forced outside the mainstream if we’re openly trans. But Imma just starting listing people and groups that come to mind in no particular order:
- Femtanyl
- Cynthoni/Sewerslvt
- Anohni
- Ethel Cain
- Shteppi/Issbrokie
- Changeline
- Damag3
- Switch Angel
- Fem&m
- Against Me!
- SOPHIE
- Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows
- ZombAe
- Ada Rook
- Ekko Astral
- astrid
If anybody has suggestions please reply, I’ll add them
Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows
After the first couple years of the new millenium I don’t really enjoy her stuff too much, but her work in the 90s is great. Todeswunsch is probably my favorite album. Anna Varney was probably the first openly trans person on my radar enough to know her name. I still have her art/photography book somewhere, it was limited to like fifty copies, I got it in 2005.
Oooo dark wave, I think I’ll enjoy this. Thank you!
Ada Rook
Ekko astral
Ada rook!
Thank you! I’m liking them so far
Yay! Another friend from traa got me into her, I think maybe it was ashenwolf?
I like your username
Thanks :)
That’s because breakcore, hyperpop, and digital hardcore are the best indie genres
What good trans artists are there in these genres? Love breakcore and would probably like the others.
I know sewerslvt but no one else
DeltaFey, Sophie, FEM&M, some of Lauren Bousfield’s work goes into that territory.
Sophie is literally a seminal artist in hyperpop. You cannot listen to a single song without hearing her influence.
Pretty sure femtanyl is trans
Laura Les (100 gecs) and underscores are both worth a listen. Mostly in the hyperpop space though they both move around a bit genre wise (like most hyperpop).
Not breakcore but I love Femtanyl and she scratches the same or at least similar itch for me. I’d also love to know more though, Cynthoni (formerly known as Sewerslvt) has helped me through a lot of hopeless nights and heavy emotions.
It’s not even just those though. Ethel Cain is the first example that came to mind.
Within the extremely narrow context of Punk and Soundcloud songs with FL studio default instruments mixed with V-tuber vocals, yes.
Hey this is like half my music. Some names I haven’t seen mentioned yet (may or may not be trans idk):
- Hkmori
- Goreshit
- Purity filter
- Rory in early 20s
- Exodia
- Machine girl
- Tanger
- Puhf
- Golden boy -SPURME
Appreciate Neon White for introducing me to Machine Girl
i never played but i did find machine girl from watching speedrun videos from waifuruns. i wonder if he found it from neon white
Could see that kind of game appealing to speed runners since it’s all about how fast you can complete the levels.
link or lib
The unexpected sequel to ‘trick or treat’
Hmm, I think we’d need to swap it around to “lib or link” for it to match up.
Nah, it’s fine the way it was. We all know haw much libs love their treats.
I feel like either I’ve been tricked (op is a lib) or I’m getting a treat (op gives link).
Or, if I get a link and it’s a trick, maybe I was the lib all along?
I was listening in the car with my partner so I don’t remember the exact song or artist that made me post this. (Username was a like 5 number and letters that didn’t mean anything to me)
Check out femtanyl tho
cis person here so i may be incorrect but i would surmise it’s because E’s a helluva drug
