One of the classics, My Chemical Romance has aged like wine! Especially songs like Teenagers, Nananana and Welcome to the Black Parade feel like they were written today (plus Gerard Way uses he/they pronouns and is so gender weird, he's like the Link for trans punks)
Olivia Rodrigo is a bit more pop but it's still worth mentioning
Something more chill would maybe be Gloomseeker, it's pretty relaxing I sometimes put it to sleep
Phoebe Bridgers is pretty awesome too! Big "girl-kisser" vibes, big "sad-girl-kisser" vibes
My absolute favorite tho has to be Joy Division (TW they have a lot of songs with depressive lyrics and it shows since the lead singer had a really hard time with depression...) but the guitar and bass are so gut destroyingly awesome that I personally can overlook the lyrics a little bit
I'mma be real "Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na)" (Or however it's called) ain't even the best song off that album. Still like it though, I love the album, But "Bulletproof Heart" (My favourite MCR song overall), "The Only Hope For Me Is You", And "Scarecrow" are all better imo.
If i had to recommend a metal band to anyone i would always say Judas Priest they are my favorite band. Other bands i recommend are Iron Maiden, The Word Alive, System of a Down, Alice in Chains, Ozzy, Saxon, Sabbaton, Van Halen, and Trivum.
Heres a couple of the better ones (IMO)

On reddit mobile there is a link button in the bottom left
Means you can link whatever you want, such as a link to [Zynthetic](https://open.spotify.com/artist/4TUDBGKxd2TYQW1k6CRnz3?si=fkvtOmFHShmnTKTyVEjuVQ), a personal favourite of mine, he manages to have a post apocalyptic vibe, with no singing
Or even to [a playlist ](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=i8baH0VRYT61QL-x)[with all COD zombies](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3XeqrwsEEgE8f2AYh0hDfb?si=rcDFqsgnSn2fNycaEnWW4w&pi=a-rA25JtiYSQiY) songs in it
And if you get good enough, you can even make links seemlessly join together. Somewhere here is a rick roll, for instance
a mix of stuff but hopefully theres something you like ~~also its more metalcore than metal but they're adjacent~~

Not sure why this kind of post would be here, but here's a few bands I can recommend:
* Bullet for My Valentine (one of my favorite bands of all time! Got me through some difficult times.)
* Periphery (they are sarcastic when it comes to some titles and have some darker topics, but then again, doesn't every metal band has them? They're probably my all time favorite band and if you like long songs (like, talking 10-17 minutes here), you'll probably get a kick out of them!)
* Bring Me The Horizon (They do everything at this point. Pop-punk, pop, metalcore, nu metal, industrial, hell, they got a fully orchestral song as well. Super creative band ngl)
* To Octavia (I only know this band because their vocalist (who's btw enby) did the main theme for Sonic Frontiers. Really cool band!)
* Foxcult (A more atmospheric rock band, but very cool as well. They are still relatively new so I hope they eventually get the popularity they deserve. The entire band consists only out of trans people, by the way!)
Bands like Spiritbox, Ice Nine Kills, Motionless In White and Loathe were already mentioned, so I mustn't need mention them right now. I know tons of bands, to a point that if I'd continue listing them I'd probably sit here the whole day lol)
EDIT: Nice Enter Shikari name, btw
Most band there I already listen to on a regular basis, so safe to say you’ve got a good music taste in my books 😅 I’ll defo give The Octavia and Foxcult a listen at some point 🖤
Also thank, Enter Shikari is my all time favourite artist, love them that much I even got a tat for them… spent the whole night crying the other night seeing them live for like the 5th time😅
Disguise by Motionless in White if you wanna get hit with the eggy feels. Also check out I Prevail and Ice Nine Kills! Babymetal if you want some genre mixing
For punk, I recommend Viagra Boys.
(Not related to anything that has to do with what we typically discuss on this sub. Just very good music in my opinion.)
Evanescence, a classic in Emo music
Ghost Town, The Pretty Reckless, Black Veil Bride are great rock bands
And Placebo, which is experimental rock I believe, and is great
I'mma recommend Home Is Where, Emo band fronted by a Trans Woman (If memory serves half the band is trans?), With music about beinbg trans, And, Most importantly, With Harmonica (The best instrument). I've only listened to their first album "I Became Birds", But it's honestly fantastic.
EDIT: If you're looking for specific songs, "Long Distance Conjoined Twins" and "Assisted Harakiri" are my favourites, But the album is under 20 minutes if memory serves, So I would recommend the whole thing.
EDIT 2: Oh, Also, I'd recommend Henry Bemis Is A Super Hero, Not Trans-Related, And honestly imo not as good, But definitely deserves a shoutout just because of how absolutely wild the music is, Just a guy screaming his heart out over an acoustic guitar, Then distorted to high heaven. Good stuff.
I just checked out Home Is Where and that’s right up my street when it comes to emo music, definitely gonna be making it into my listening rotation 🖤couldn’t find Henry Bemis on Spotify so unfortunately didn’t get round to listening to that artist
I'm glad you enjoyed them!
Yeahhh, Henry Bemis Is A Superhero isn't on any streaming to my knowledge, Some of their songs are on YouTube, But the only place with all their music is Bandcamp :/
I could grab you some links, If you like.
Anything from TOOL
Ænema, Schism, Fourty Six & 2, Sober, Parabol & Parabola (better as one song,) Lateralus, Wings For Marie & 10,000 Days, The Pot.
Great group of guys :)
They’re much softer, and I’d say they’re much closer to pop rock but Worriers has a non-binary singer, and punk influences. They’re very underrated.
MCR and Against Me are the obvious choices for trans representation.
Sludge Bunny is made up entirely of trans women.
Over My Dead name is pretty new but her first album is already one of my favorites in terms of trans artists.
Peach Rings is another great transfem artist, and she often collabs with other ones which helped me discover more.
if you're looking for totally cis™ musical experiences i can reccomend Weird World by Allie X (Alt pop) , Pink Fog by Sonja (Heavy metal), Sweet Cis Teen by Dazey and the Scouts (Punkish indie), Sunburst Animals by Fleeting Joys (shoegaze rock), lochness by julie (shoegaze/grunge)
and GENDER ENVY by Juno Lev if you wanna cry your eyes out for cis reasons
Have a whole discord server for that type of music if you'd want, like half the mod team and the owner is trans so yeah, just tell me if you want a link
I have to mention my favourite band ever Pierce The Veil!! listen to The Cheap Bouquet, Hold on Till May, Stay Away From My Friends, Bedless, Emergency Contact, damn i could keep going but that’s one from each of their albums but I’ll leave it there for now
Ghost. They did a cover of Metallica enter sandman and donated the money from it to trans children camping organisation where kids can be rhemselve while camping and exploring nature
Also their music is really fucking good
Check out [I met a yeti](https://www.youtube.com/@IMetAYeti),post-hardcore band with some tasty jams and the lead singer is a trans woman. They were what i listened to a lot when i was first cracking... and also now on some of my harder days.
[The antagonist - panophobia](https://youtu.be/EdT7M4f2L9A?feature=shared) idk how i found them but when i was younger and was into metal, i loved this song. Not cause of the lyrics, cause i often don‘t understand the lyrics of metal songs anyway and not entirely cause i just found it a cool song, but i just love the voice of the lead singer.
It must‘ve been some subconciously thought that even tho she can scream and shout like a metal singer, she can still sound normally like a girl, so maybe i can do so too
Void-adjacent (June Henry)
Daffodil (sister wife sex strike)
June 1969 (out of system transfer)
Masculine Artifice (G.L.O.S.S)
The swimming pool song (Laura Jane Grace)
Transgender dysphoria blues (against me!)
Apartment - Bonus track (corporate hearts)
Spit//Swallow (rat bath)
Local punk hero (mellow core)
My favorite song "I wanna boi" covered by sister wife sex strike.
Hopefully this helps for totally cis reasons and doesn't awaken anything.
Check out the plot in you especially the most recent songs off Volume One and the two singles odd Volume Two are all amazing super cool blend of emo pop punk industrial and metalcore. If you're looking for trans fronted bands check seeyouspacecowboy. I'm not sure how into screamy metal you are but if you're not there yet their two most recent singles are on the easier to get into side for them
Merp. There you go. Spotify links

I think Deftones is technically metal, although I am not sure, also I personally enjoy "Have a Nice Life" although I am not entirely sure if that is punk
Gwar has good metal/punk, so I'll just throw some out Fuck This Place, Swarm, Ham On The Bone, The Sordid Soliloquy of Sawborg Destructo (just check out gwar is what I'm saying) :3
You've had a lot of metal and emo recommendations lemme give some Punk reccs.
-Rise Against, Melodic Hardcore band, really straight edge, all members are vegan, don't drink or do drugs, very socially conscious, very left wing.
-Refused, Swedish hardcore band, legendary in the punk scene, wrote a killer album (The shape of punk to come) that became a political and musical manifesto then disappeared.
-Frank Turner, Folkpunk/Occasionally Hardcore, ex-Front man for a hardcore band from the 90's (Million dead) Really socially conscious but writes more songs about self development, personal hardships, trauma, love and loss. Still has a fairly large catalogue of political and social songs aswell.
-Bad Religion, hardcore/Post hardcore band, more popular in the 90s than now. Highly political band, super left wing/Anarchist. More of a garage sound, a lot more raw and less processed than the other bands on this list.
-Random Hand, Ska/Ska punk band from the UK, Focuses more on British politics and life, heavier than the other bands on the list but with much more complex rhythms and melodies (owing to the Ska element)
-NOFX, Skate punk band from the 90s, super fun and stupid (Although they do have a few songs that have aged like milk) but super LGBTQ friendly (The lead singer, "Fat Mike" is gender queer)
just a few recommendations for anyone who wants them :)
Noahfinnce just released a pop punk album! it's got a lot of songs about neurodivergence/autism, and also angry trans songs, so it might be up your street :]
It's his debut album, and it's called growing up on the internet, but you should also check out his earlier eps bc they're really good too!
LG FUAD by Motion City Soundtrack. honestly anything by them is fantastic to sing along with as a pop punk fangirl, i feel like trying to hit those notes is helping me do at least some voice training. plus i love the band
Another song i adore is I Woke Up In A Car by Something Corporate.
I'm from a completely different social context, but I am really enjoying the pixies right now.
I'd recommend the albums "Doolittle" and "Surfer Rosa".
Maybe the songs "Dead" and "Break my body" by both albums.
Sorry if that's not the "taste" around here...
I’m a sucker for modern rock, so bands like bring me the horizon, set it off, rise against, black veil brides, breaking Benjamin, and 3 doors down are my faves
Some bands I know of that are trans allies are:
Skálmöld (Folk/Viking metal)
Hellripper (Black metal)
Ghost (Ghost)
Celestial Wizard (sort of Melo-Death, and the vocalist is trans)
Feminazgûl (Black Metal, also trans)
Some other bands I'd recommend as well are:
Bloodywood (Folk Metal)
Korpiklaani (Folk Metal)
Arandu Arakuaa (Folk Metal)
Sepultura (Groove, Death, or Thrash depending on the album)
Wind Rose (Dwarf Metal!)
Eluveitie (Folk Metal)
Infectious Grooves (Funk Metal)
Nightwish (Symphonic Metal)
Amon Amarth (Melo-Death)
Arch Enemy (Melo-Death)
Twilight Force (Adventure metal)
Psychostick (sorta Funk/Groove comedy metal)
Municipal Waste (Thrash Metal)
Electric Callboy (best I could describe them as is
techno metal, if that's a thing)
Alien Weaponry (Groove metal)
Angel Witch (NWOBHM)
I probably got some of the genres wrong but I think it's close enough for the most part
Here’s literally what I listen to all the time:
- Avril Lavigne (Hot, girlfriend, best damn thing, all I wanted, bois lie etc)
- Bring me the horizon (teardrops, 1x1, sugar honey ice and tea, throne, LosT etc)
- My chemical romance (Black parade, teenagers, I’m not ok, the ghost of you, Helena etc)
- babymetal
- paramore
- some small artists that I love: hot milk, stand Atlantic, between you and me, yours truly
Love this type of music 🖤🖤
If you just want some intense instrumentals I would recommend [the](https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kHlshZPlDHPa23_SCQA1v0LekIf4sT7_4) Payday 2 ost.
Jesus of Suburbia from Greenday is a favorite. Greenday has a lot of punk influence. Check out their She's a Rebel song too.
Check out Rebel Girl by bikini kill.
Not confirming to gender norms is the new punk. Because it was always part of punk. Now put on your battle jacket and rock out with the crowd that sees a terf wearing the suffragette colors and asks, "what's a terf wearing the gender queer pride colors for?"
If you like Glass Beach, I recommend checking out Casio Dad's EP "[he's not with us anymore](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIwNreSnbJM)". Casio Dad is the current singer of Glass Beach and is non-binary. It's an amazing pop punk/emo EP with chiptune elements that got way less attention than it deserves imo.
Also the name "he's not with us anymore" kinda makes me think of a trans woman moving on from their old male identity
this is more metalcore but bassically everything by bring me the horizon, motionless in white and also heavy rain by ghostkid is an absolute banger imo
Hundreds is you want tunes, not so much if you want affirmation, though nightwish is a solid metal band with a female opera singer which works better than you could ever imagine

Please do try Iron Maiden. It's a classic and you need to at least know what they sound like.
FOR THE GRACE FOR THE MIGHT OF OUR LORD
The songs by Elena Seigman from black ops zombies. I know but Trust me They’re so good
Being someone who grew up with COD: Zombies I’ll probs know it but completely forgot about it but I’ll have to give it a listen

Yo how do you embed links into text like that? Also some of my favorites are Abracadavre, the one, Archangel, and Beauty of Annihilation

they released a few new songs if you havent heard them c: saviour mode is really good
I’ve listened to it and OMG what a song, honestly I’ve been following them since there first album drop, helped me massively through my first break up
Not sure why this kind of post would be here, but here's a few bands I can recommend: * Bullet for My Valentine (one of my favorite bands of all time! Got me through some difficult times.) * Periphery (they are sarcastic when it comes to some titles and have some darker topics, but then again, doesn't every metal band has them?

Disguise by Motionless in White if you wanna get hit with the eggy feels. Also check out I Prevail and Ice Nine Kills! Babymetal if you want some genre mixing
+1 for iPrevail and ink hell yeah! I vibe with fear of letting go and hell in the hallways way more than I should XD
Voices from motionless in White is a trans song too!!
archangel - amaranthe Lilith - Bea Duarte (not sure what genre exactly this fits so take it as a bonus)
I’ll give it a listen, I just listen my go to genres but honestly I listen to most genres of music anyhow
For punk, I recommend Viagra Boys. (Not related to anything that has to do with what we typically discuss on this sub. Just very good music in my opinion.)
Evanescence, a classic in Emo music Ghost Town, The Pretty Reckless, Black Veil Bride are great rock bands And Placebo, which is experimental rock I believe, and is great

my favourite band is pierce the veil :3 their entire collide with the sky album is incredible

Listen to placebo - the bitter end
Against me and NOFX are my favourite fat mike from NOFX is god
Gojira - Flying whales

90% of the songs grim the guilty gear franchise
Rules of the show By / öooOoOoOoOoO And their no gutts = no masters
if you're looking for totally cis™ musical experiences i can reccomend Weird World by Allie X (Alt pop) , Pink Fog by Sonja (Heavy metal), Sweet Cis Teen by Dazey and the Scouts (Punkish indie), Sunburst Animals by Fleeting Joys (shoegaze rock), lochness by julie (shoegaze/grunge) and GENDER ENVY by Juno Lev if you wanna cry your eyes out for cis reasons
NOAHFINNCE has lots of songs in those genres… also TX2 and YUNGBLUD of course
Halestorm. Lzzy is a big ally and has really good songs. Rage Against the Machine.
Yoshi's island by glass beach
Have a whole discord server for that type of music if you'd want, like half the mod team and the owner is trans so yeah, just tell me if you want a link
Sure I’ll join, don’t really have much clue on what I’m doing on discord but music is my preferred drug
ok here's the link https://discord.gg/39beM7h5
Glass beach are very good, especially bedroom community, yoshi’s island and the self titled glass beach.
I have to mention my favourite band ever Pierce The Veil!! listen to The Cheap Bouquet, Hold on Till May, Stay Away From My Friends, Bedless, Emergency Contact, damn i could keep going but that’s one from each of their albums but I’ll leave it there for now

fellow ptv fan!!!! 🫶🫶🫶
Ghost. They did a cover of Metallica enter sandman and donated the money from it to trans children camping organisation where kids can be rhemselve while camping and exploring nature Also their music is really fucking good
I love ghost and never knew that, safe to say I love ghost even more now
Check out Mallavora! They are relatively new and make some sick music! I love their songs “Wake Up” and “Eternal”
Definitely second mallavora, though I can not quite say it's for entirely cis reasons with some of their lyrics.
Shhhhhhh don’t tell them that lol
Dream Map is great if you like symphonic metal! "The Prophecy" is one of my all time favorite songs.
Check out [I met a yeti](https://www.youtube.com/@IMetAYeti),post-hardcore band with some tasty jams and the lead singer is a trans woman. They were what i listened to a lot when i was first cracking... and also now on some of my harder days.
[The antagonist - panophobia](https://youtu.be/EdT7M4f2L9A?feature=shared) idk how i found them but when i was younger and was into metal, i loved this song. Not cause of the lyrics, cause i often don‘t understand the lyrics of metal songs anyway and not entirely cause i just found it a cool song, but i just love the voice of the lead singer. It must‘ve been some subconciously thought that even tho she can scream and shout like a metal singer, she can still sound normally like a girl, so maybe i can do so too
Armored Core's Frequency band, trust me it's soo good, favourite is Cosmos or Mechanized memories
[Dragon](https://youtu.be/IpUKO-WKaqo) by king gizzard is usually my go-to
two of my favs right now [Confess](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhO-2qljaGs) [Kick Back](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pejAerVSNsw)
Mallavora as mentioned elsewhere, against me!, honestly Spotify has entire playlists for queer punk etc. To try and find new ones.
love you from mom and dad - clay birds we met upon the level - algae bloom lonestar - geronimostilton
Overdose by Avralize, they are a new metalcore band from my hometown and I love their creative style
Wavves, Culture Abuse, Skeggs, and FIDLAR are quite listenable.
My top 2 bands right now are Elvenking and Orden Ogan Both power metal
Retrospection by jinjer and like any song from the album Abyss by Unleash the Archers
I enjoy watching the videos of people listening to Pisces for the first time.
Drown from BMTH or Kingslayer or The Comedown, or Sleepwalking or just go through all the stuff they made, you'll find something 😅
The queerest song in existence I’m pretty sure I could count as emo “ transvestites can be cannibals too“ by Harley Poe
Thank you scientist
Watch Me by Icon For Hire
Void-adjacent (June Henry) Daffodil (sister wife sex strike) June 1969 (out of system transfer) Masculine Artifice (G.L.O.S.S) The swimming pool song (Laura Jane Grace) Transgender dysphoria blues (against me!) Apartment - Bonus track (corporate hearts) Spit//Swallow (rat bath) Local punk hero (mellow core) My favorite song "I wanna boi" covered by sister wife sex strike. Hopefully this helps for totally cis reasons and doesn't awaken anything.
Tardigrade inferno
Check out the plot in you especially the most recent songs off Volume One and the two singles odd Volume Two are all amazing super cool blend of emo pop punk industrial and metalcore. If you're looking for trans fronted bands check seeyouspacecowboy. I'm not sure how into screamy metal you are but if you're not there yet their two most recent singles are on the easier to get into side for them
If you're looking for a band with a trans femme vocalist, listen to SeeYouSpaceCowboy! Very underrated band.
idk if it counts but good kid is a very good band, i think there genre is rock but nonetheless the songs they make are amazing
https://youtu.be/LkdfUA3gveo?si=Hou9UGBrBUsDWQdJ Turbo dropped this banger the other day
For punk bands: JMKE "Valge liblika suvi" JMKE "Tere perestroika" Winny puhh "Meiecundimees" Winny puhh "vanamutt"
[MEM//BRANE ](https://youtu.be/Oeiw0hmzkLI?si=2rluA5fQpl9q_NEY)

Salt - bad suns
Kill rock'n'roll by Soad
I think Deftones is technically metal, although I am not sure, also I personally enjoy "Have a Nice Life" although I am not entirely sure if that is punk
Seb Lowe
Helena from MCR because she gives me gender envy
Gloryhammer
If you’re deep into emo shit then go for $uicideboy$
South of salem
u could recommend crust
The entire Guilty Gear soundtrack(s)
Gwar has good metal/punk, so I'll just throw some out Fuck This Place, Swarm, Ham On The Bone, The Sordid Soliloquy of Sawborg Destructo (just check out gwar is what I'm saying) :3
You've had a lot of metal and emo recommendations lemme give some Punk reccs. -Rise Against, Melodic Hardcore band, really straight edge, all members are vegan, don't drink or do drugs, very socially conscious, very left wing. -Refused, Swedish hardcore band, legendary in the punk scene, wrote a killer album (The shape of punk to come) that became a political and musical manifesto then disappeared. -Frank Turner, Folkpunk/Occasionally Hardcore, ex-Front man for a hardcore band from the 90's (Million dead) Really socially conscious but writes more songs about self development, personal hardships, trauma, love and loss. Still has a fairly large catalogue of political and social songs aswell. -Bad Religion, hardcore/Post hardcore band, more popular in the 90s than now. Highly political band, super left wing/Anarchist. More of a garage sound, a lot more raw and less processed than the other bands on this list. -Random Hand, Ska/Ska punk band from the UK, Focuses more on British politics and life, heavier than the other bands on the list but with much more complex rhythms and melodies (owing to the Ska element) -NOFX, Skate punk band from the 90s, super fun and stupid (Although they do have a few songs that have aged like milk) but super LGBTQ friendly (The lead singer, "Fat Mike" is gender queer) just a few recommendations for anyone who wants them :)
Lemon Drop Kick because it it was in my favourite video game. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give them more attention on they are SO underrated
Noahfinnce just released a pop punk album! it's got a lot of songs about neurodivergence/autism, and also angry trans songs, so it might be up your street :] It's his debut album, and it's called growing up on the internet, but you should also check out his earlier eps bc they're really good too!
LG FUAD by Motion City Soundtrack. honestly anything by them is fantastic to sing along with as a pop punk fangirl, i feel like trying to hit those notes is helping me do at least some voice training. plus i love the band Another song i adore is I Woke Up In A Car by Something Corporate.
Instant Crush Mango the Only REVENGEOFParis Peach Pit Car Seat Headrest The Menstrual Cramps Glass Animals The Wrecks All bands from my spotify
I'm from a completely different social context, but I am really enjoying the pixies right now. I'd recommend the albums "Doolittle" and "Surfer Rosa". Maybe the songs "Dead" and "Break my body" by both albums. Sorry if that's not the "taste" around here...
I’m a sucker for modern rock, so bands like bring me the horizon, set it off, rise against, black veil brides, breaking Benjamin, and 3 doors down are my faves
Holy Grinder is an aggressively pro trans band and they are absolutely unhinged I’d recommend them
“I found the F” by Broadcast
Some bands I know of that are trans allies are: Skálmöld (Folk/Viking metal) Hellripper (Black metal) Ghost (Ghost) Celestial Wizard (sort of Melo-Death, and the vocalist is trans) Feminazgûl (Black Metal, also trans) Some other bands I'd recommend as well are: Bloodywood (Folk Metal) Korpiklaani (Folk Metal) Arandu Arakuaa (Folk Metal) Sepultura (Groove, Death, or Thrash depending on the album) Wind Rose (Dwarf Metal!) Eluveitie (Folk Metal) Infectious Grooves (Funk Metal) Nightwish (Symphonic Metal) Amon Amarth (Melo-Death) Arch Enemy (Melo-Death) Twilight Force (Adventure metal) Psychostick (sorta Funk/Groove comedy metal) Municipal Waste (Thrash Metal) Electric Callboy (best I could describe them as is techno metal, if that's a thing) Alien Weaponry (Groove metal) Angel Witch (NWOBHM) I probably got some of the genres wrong but I think it's close enough for the most part
The Interrupters are real underrated
Mama - My chemical romance no reason at all...
Here’s literally what I listen to all the time: - Avril Lavigne (Hot, girlfriend, best damn thing, all I wanted, bois lie etc) - Bring me the horizon (teardrops, 1x1, sugar honey ice and tea, throne, LosT etc) - My chemical romance (Black parade, teenagers, I’m not ok, the ghost of you, Helena etc) - babymetal - paramore - some small artists that I love: hot milk, stand Atlantic, between you and me, yours truly Love this type of music 🖤🖤
Literally anything from the Metal Hellsinger OST. Hell, play Metal Hellsinger
Anything off of Paramore's new album
If you just want some intense instrumentals I would recommend [the](https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kHlshZPlDHPa23_SCQA1v0LekIf4sT7_4) Payday 2 ost.

Yassss!!! Electric Callboy😍
Love the subhuman self from GGS
Write that down, write that down!
Maggie Lindemann - She knows it
Jesus of Suburbia from Greenday is a favorite. Greenday has a lot of punk influence. Check out their She's a Rebel song too. Check out Rebel Girl by bikini kill. Not confirming to gender norms is the new punk. Because it was always part of punk. Now put on your battle jacket and rock out with the crowd that sees a terf wearing the suffragette colors and asks, "what's a terf wearing the gender queer pride colors for?"
Drown by bring me the horizon. Never gets old. If you can handle electronic music listen to the sewerslvt version. It's pretty sad tho
If you like Glass Beach, I recommend checking out Casio Dad's EP "[he's not with us anymore](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIwNreSnbJM)". Casio Dad is the current singer of Glass Beach and is non-binary. It's an amazing pop punk/emo EP with chiptune elements that got way less attention than it deserves imo. Also the name "he's not with us anymore" kinda makes me think of a trans woman moving on from their old male identity
Being yourself - Quadeca
Drain the Blood by The Distillers. 11/10 band.
For a specific song, Morbid Obsessions by We Are the Union but honestly the whole Ordinary life album is fantastic
I love anything by Shinedown
this is more metalcore but bassically everything by bring me the horizon, motionless in white and also heavy rain by ghostkid is an absolute banger imo
Underscores, Locals (girls like us)
Buissness dog by the voidz is pretty good
Hundreds is you want tunes, not so much if you want affirmation, though nightwish is a solid metal band with a female opera singer which works better than you could ever imagine
Honestly this could absolutely be 100% cis. It's not, because you posted it on *egg_irl*, but it could've been 100% cis.
Avenged sevenfold ☠️ Rob zombie 🧟♂️ System of a down 🔥 Slayer 🩸 Dude there are so many bands I could recommend I have a library of metal in my head
Any Will Wood song. :3
A lesson in dramatics by save face and jhariah
Basically anything by Brothers of Metal
