what are some LGBT bands that aren't bland alt-normie

Matmos

>>72824356
It's 2017, being gay/transgender/whatever is unironically normie by this point. if you really want to 'stick it to the man' in this topsy turvy cultural marxist world where 'the man' is an amorphous queer(tm) blubber blob with neon blue hair, straight is the way to go.

>>72824486
yeah but what about a good gay band?

>>72824356
Xiu xiu
Coil

>>72824486
ebic

>>72824356
COIL

+hirs+
cynic

>>72824575
heck i always forget about hirs even though they're one of the very few bands in philly that don't fucking suck

>>72824575
Saw hirs live. Damn good shit. Don't agree with the extreme politics but enjoyable nonetheless

>Cause I know you're still worried I'm gonna get scared again/ And make my insides clean with your kitchen bleach/ But I've kissed enough bathroom sinks to make up for the lovers that never loved me/ And I know my body is just dirty clothes

I wish there was some good LGBT-centric music that actually had some bite and edge to it. I mean, for a group of people who've been harrassed, cast aside, and even killed, you think there'd be some more rebellious shit coming from them.

>>72825323
Coil?

Don't post this disgusting slag

>>72825323
You sound like someone who off-handedly dismisses most queer artists because "muh identity politics"

First couple B-52s. Four-fifths gay band and it's obvious, but not in an annoying way, the music isn't about being gay. Later on they did get a bit hackneyed though

>>72825518
lol what the fuck why did i not connect that douglas was gay until this very moment am i fucking autistic

Did we ever find out if Sufjan Stevens is bi?

>>72825585
I dunno, maybe we should listen to all his songs that describe homosexual encounters again.

>>72824486
You are one of the sheep that you hate.

>>72824356
The one's already mentioned are for the most part great. Arca is alright too.

To be honest I don't know many gay bands/artists. Maybe REM,

Lot's of edm/idm and industrial is made by gays and trans although I couldn't recall any off the top of my head.

>>72825497
Had very bad acne scarring that he was very insecure of.

>>72825456
Their first two albums are so good but I will still defend Cosmic Thing to the death. It's still fun it's just a completely different brand of fun. It's a dip in quality from their earlier releases but some people try to act like anything after Wild Planet has no value which I just disagree with.

>>72825659
They don't have no value. I like Mesopotamia, there's other good one-offs. They don't really fit the topic after Wild Planet though, they started getting more into bland synth and whatnot.

PWR BTTM

their shit is so fucking good

>>72825358
>>72825360
>>72825407
No I dont think you guys understand, I mean like LGBT CENTRIC, not just bands/artists who are LGBT. Sorta like how PWR BTTM, controversy aside, were explicitly pro-LGBT and talked about those issues. Except instead of mostly light-hearted pop songs, I mean some punk/rebellious stuff. I like Aye Nako and G.L.O.S.S because they talk about those types of issues while not putting on the stereotypical pop gay icon non-serious image

>>72825745
Well that edginess comes out of violence visited upon LGBT people for having the *audacity* to be happy with themselves, not because Pride itself is bad.

The idea that we can't embrace levity from time to time is a little messed up.

>>72825745
I think the reason a lot of LGBT musicians are more pop-oriented is because we as a community spend a lot of our times angry and sad so LGBT musicians made poppy and happy music as a way to escape the torment and turn it around into pride in identity

Black Sun Productions

team dresch was unironically good at their peak

i know it's been mentioned but if you're gay and angry at everything you'd fucking love xiu xiu

Throbbing Gristle

>>72824486
true, I'm part of the so called "alt-right" and to be honest it feels punk as fuck

>>72828424
you're not punk. you're memetarded feces that nobody loves and will die lonely while masturbating.

Fuck off, loser cunt.

>>72824486
Yeah man, gotta show those kikes and nu males how rebellious and superior we are by basing our actions and ideals on reactions to their culture.

>>72825323

>liking a band for being lgbt

fuck this nu-mu

Gay men have the worst taste in music, the original popatmists, they all like show tunes and top 40 pop music , have the same taste in music as a 14 year old girl.
You will never see a flamboyantly gay man be all "o mg i just lovvvvvve cannibal corpse"

>>72824486
you realize these SJW types are just the unthinking masses who act as puppets. the people pulling the strings haven't actually changed

>>72829386
>You will never see a flamboyantly gay man be all "o mg i just lovvvvvve cannibal corpse"
thats because they fucking suck

i dont conform to gender binaries and dont believe in sexuality being restrained to gender. im part of lgbt communities and music scenes. queer people are actually much more likely to exist in an artistic culture. experimental music-- noise, house, techno, industrial, punk, etc than cishet people. outcasted by mainstream society we make alternative art scenes that dont participate int he same ruleset as capitalism which expressly exploits marginalized peoples.

Think 'coming out' as a gay is hard? Try coming out as a redpill homophobe to your cuck parents and see where that gets you.
