Incel Playlist

"Good Morning, Captain" came on through my earbuds, and I had this overwhelming sense that this is just music for boys who are angry because they're not getting any.

Others?

foh

Sarah McLachlan - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, whole album on repeat

there is a whole thread on that site about music. a lot of them really like making dark ambient

Dungeon synth?

what site?

First result upon googling 'incel music': 'How Soon Is Now?' Heh.

I’ve been calling Weezer “incel rock” for a few years now.

"Add it Up" surely

AKB48

I said elsewhere on here j***s b***e and it didn't go down too well, still true though.

The first post should have just been a link to ILM Answers

j***s b***e? Jonas Blue?

What's after this,the top ten White Supremacist movie list

― Jordan Pickford LOLverdrive (Neanderthal)

fight club is definitely on there

like, not to get too patrick bateman, but i feel like a lot of incels could really relate to "i don't care anymore" by mr. phil collins

then again they could probably also relate to "satisfaction" by the rolling stones, though they'd probably prefer devo's version

Bill Hicks - Chicks Dig Jerks

j***s b***e is James Blake, no idea why I was being so annoyingly coy last night

pretty much everything Devo did up to Duty Now For the Future probably counts here

Except for global's post, a lot of this seems like unpleasant projection to me but I'll try to actually engage: if "Good Morning, Captain" is the Slint song, why do you hear it that way? I find it moving and poetic. "Just music for boys who are angry because they're not getting any" is not at all what I get from an epic track inspired by "Rime of the Ancient Mariner", about a shipwrecked captain trying to reconnect with an abandoned child. It could be a metaphor and is definitely open to interpretation but I've never thought of it as having to do with sexual frustration or misogynist resentment. If you meant one of the other songs named "Good Morning Captain" then nm.

Surprisingly few Emo bands mentioned so far.

The stuff listed so far seems way off to me! Wouldn't it really be, like, K-pop, J-pop, and video game music of all kinds?

extremely online cynical nerds hate kpop afaict. i dunno who's an incel though

All music is incel music, when you think about it really hard.

Surely "I Know What Boys Like" by The Waitresses is one of the ultimate songs for any type of sexually frustrated misogynist?

WAHT

this thread is dumb

Buzzcocks - 'Why Can't I Touch It?'

^ thought same exact tune

I kind of read WCITI as queer repression / frustration

I mean, yes, of course, the actual song has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

ah

When in doubt it's safe to assume that I'm being funny. Even if everyone who isn't me disagrees with that notion.

every track from the Skafish self-titled debut album

a whole bunch of Stranglers songs, particularly Ugly and I Feel Like A Wog

(New Wave seem particularly incel-ish as a genre? Devo have already been mentioned, also Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson, Any Trouble etc)

I’m Straight by Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers

Does Everyone Stare by the Police

Trying to think of songs about people who construct an identity around disingenuously blaming others for their problems...

:(

"Trying to think of songs about people who construct an identity around disingenuously blaming others for their problems..."

I like to think that Pink Floyd's The Wall features highly in the minds of the incel community.

Which is ironic, because two of the people in the band were called Roger! But not at the same time.

Also "nick mason" is a sexual term.

w/r/t DEVO, I think if the time they were at a party and some woman casually referred to them as being queer... one of the members retorted that he'd fuck her right there and then. that just seems so classically incel!

Would Violette Femmes' debut fit here?

thread needs a distinction between "music that expresses friend zone-y sentiments" i.e. most stuff here and "music that incels listen to" i.e., like, "lose yourself" where every line is replaced with "mom's spaghetti"

A Mann - Ghost Wolkd

Is She Really Going Out With Him?

Went from discovering this gem on Whosampled straight to discovering this thread:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5O-au-g2T4

Someone mentioned Buzzcocks upthread, ‘What do I Get?’ Is a very incel sentiment. Though feel bad lumping them in with them as they would hate everything they stand for.

Out on the weekend

Harvest too

Isn't the Descendants "Hope" the ur-anthem for this kind of thing.

ha I was going to post I'm going to see the Descendents tomorrow, I should just post their set list

In their defense I think the Descendants would have advised the modern incel to go fishing, ride their bike or start a band. Not sit on 4/8chan all day pissing and moaning.

tbh they were actually really good live. never seen them before, I went mainly because the Circle Jerks & Negative Approach were supporting

I assume 'no FB' has had a full lyric overhaul. I'm surprised they include it.

tried to guess what modern day incels actually listen to but didn't get further than maybe anime adjacent stuff like Creepy Nuts?
so had a quick look at the chan, afaict the answer is overwhelmingly kpop, then prog, metal and the whitest indie. oh and the cover of the new Ye cos of course

I'm embarrassed to even know about this, but there is in fact a whole genre called 'incelcore' which is exactly what you'd think it is.

A Man Needs a Maid

― Muad'Doob (Moodles)

look half these fuckers want to _be_ maids, and then when they figure that out they become "femcels" and they're just as fucked up, because they didn't manage to figure out the important bit. incels, femcels, whatever, hate themselves, and they listen to music about how much they hate themselves, and they blame other people for their hating themselves. i'm tired of it. i'm tired of being incel-adjacent, of running into these miserable fucked up people over and over again. most of all i'm tired of how fucking _hot_ these girls are. they're like, "oh if i was hot people would love me", and then they take estrogen and become insanely hot and it doesn't make a difference because they still hate themselves. which also means that none of them have the self-confidence to top. like no you fucking numbskull, girls don't reject you because you're repulsive, girls don't reject you at _all_, you _never leave your parents' fucking basement to talk to people_ because you're so blackpilled you've got this stupid idea that nobody's ever going to care about you because you're not a "chad".

i mean the call is coming from inside the house to a certain extent, when i was their age i was fucked up as well, i hated myself as much as any of these cocksuckers (non-derogatory) did, i just wasn't fucked up like _that_.

cuz like to these porridge-heads it's always _women's_ fault, even when they're women themselves, it's never the patriarchy or systemic oppression or god forbid WHITE FUCKING SUPREMACY, no, it's some girl's fault that they can't get over their own bullshit and learn to talk to people in "meatspace" like a fucking human being.

"oh girls have it so easy, if i was a girl i could just stand around and look pretty and people would take care of me", oh yeah, how's that shit working out for you? find someone to give you a ride to the hospital yet? these people transition and here's the fucked up thing THEY GENUINELY ARE GIRLS, they GENUINELY ARE BETTER OFF for realizing oh hey wait i'm not a guy at all, this guy shit isn't working for me, and when they transition and don't immediately become somebody's living waifu pillow they can't make sense of it. they genuinely think they're supposed to have it easy, they don't understand that they're now openly part of a marginalized group, they're still clinging to the same fucked-up ideas that made them miserable in the first place, that they're not the only ones going through some shit and they sure as hell aren't the first. like i understand they were never taught this stuff, i was never taught this stuff, but jesus christ there is more to gender than "skirt go spinny". like, i'm not down on "skirt go spinny", i'm in favor of "skirt go spinny", but it's not the fucking meaning of life, ok?

no seriously horny nerd shit. i mean the chorus of wall of voodoo's can't make love: "i'm a nice guy but i don't love you, i just wanna sleep with you"

the song is also of course very very bi and uh _what_ is that stanard is saying at the end there? the sound quality's not so great (potato vid too) and i got a tendency to mishear things...
