hi! :) music anon here - i just read your reply and pls give me allllll the (gay) music recs!!

this is gonna be a long list anon pls buckle up. also note that im not gonna link anything bc theres a lot but all of these songs are on youtube/spotify

🌈 xylo’s super gay, super incoherent music rec list 🌈

the basics / the popular ones

troye sivan. i know. I KNOW. half the playlist was already him but listen ive been a troye fan since he put out happy little pill & let me tell u all his songs have such a VIBE. blue neighborhood???? an iconic album. got me thru my last 2 years of high school. to this DAY i cannot listen to suburbia without thinking about driving to watch the sunrise on my first day of senior year w my best friend, sitting in the parking lot in her car n holding hands over the center console bc we were so scared of growing up. he just EVOKES that kind of MOOD u know??

listen to: fools–– talk me down–– heaven

frank ocean !!!! a bi ICON. i waited so long for new music n he blessed us with TWO ALBUMS. not only is his music spectacular and literally lyrically genius (”see both sides like chanel?? c on both sides like chanel???“ as a metaphor for bisexuality???? BEAUTIFUL. INCREDIBLE. LITERALLY AMAZING.) but he also just has sUCH an aesthetic.

listen to: thinkin bout you if ur feelin soft; ivy ––chanel–– nights if u want his newer stuff

lesbian jesus herself hayley kiyoko. anon. ANON. listen to me when i tell u that her music will change ur life. she is so RELATABLE and her songs are SO CATCHY. the girls like girls music video single handedly raised my gpa and cleared my acne.

listen to: everything uhh girls like girls–– palace–– gravel to the tempo

kehlani. im literally so obsessed. shes again another #bi icon. her gf is really cute. im in luv w her. sweetsexysavage is her latest album n its honestly??? driving my life force???? her voice is also just so lush & smooth while also bein slightly gravely in a way that makes me blush in public a lot like how can i be so gay for just her voice??? shes also just so charming n has the cutest smile and, again, i’m gay

listen to: honey is my fav song bc it reminds me of my gf (AGAIN: IM GAY) but distraction is v cute n flirty n a longtime fav. listen to in my feelings if ur ex is awful. also: keep on –– piece of mind –– the way feat. chance are all really good. just listen to her entire discography honestly

DODIE. ive been a dodie fan since i, a repressed baby gay, stumbled upon “she” on youtube and was filled with such immense love that i immediately stanned and here we are, 2 EPs later. nothing more relatable than pining for ur str8 best friend. pls listen to “she” it literally kickstarted my gay awakening

listen to: ill say it again, she –– also sick of losing soulmates–– her cover of somebody else by the 1975

against me. i dont know if ur into punk anon but even if ur not, consider checking out against me. lead singer laura jane grace is a super badass trans woman & trans dysphoria blues is an album with. suCH EMOTION.

listen to: black me out , a song to plan a revolution to. im here, im queer, im angry and its a midterm election year #registertovote

lesser known artists + singles + lgbtq+ artists that i know but am not a big fan of under the cut

let me go by tunde olaniran. i regularly cried listening to this song after a break up. if u wanna be emotional n gay this is a good one.

somebody loves you by betty who. ok not specifically gay (i dont think???) but it was used in a rlly cute gay marriage proposal (look it up on youtube im begging i guarantee u will be smiling for the rest of the day) and they are. ALWAYS. playing this one at pride. a bop.

boyfriend by tegan and sara. ok i know theyre technically popular but no one talks about their last album and boyfriend is a good song ok?? ok.

jenny by studio killers. another song about pining after ur best friend. can u tell i went THRU SOME STUFF in high school

ok aGAIN i know that halsey is also technically mainstream but i didnt wanna write a whole paragraph about her. listen to strangers feat. lauren jauregui. #unpopularopinion but her last album was just “ok” dont @ me

HEART ATTACK BY LOONA. do u like k pop??? do u like gay girls???? do u like cute music videos???? my friend do i have the song for u

mary lambert. she did the hook in that macklemore song. pls listen to her other stuff its so good n soft n “i cant think straight / im so gay / sometimes i cry the whole day” #relataBLE

everyone knows who sam smith is right?? anyway prayers is good. his entire last album is honestly so good but hes not a particular fav of mine.

elton john. a LEGEND. he’s like 150 years old but im hoping the sheer love of the gay community will keep him alive for another 150 years

ANGEL HAZE. ive been a long time fan. v emotional n the lyrics r heavy but honestly?? so important??? one of my fav rap artists

i know a place by muna. i listened to this on the way to pride n almost cried in front of my mom, my friends, and an entire BART station full of pride goers. its a v upbeat song, im just emotional

zolita. uhh not a big fan tbh, just not my musical style

girls/girls/boys by p!atd. ok also not technically gay (?? maybe??? there are some Bi Rumors but thats not my place to say) but anyways def a bi anthem. dont watch the music video its very “lets have two girls kiss for views” which is like. not the msg of the song but whatever i aired my salt about that in 2013 n im not going back now

idk what kina grannis’s sexuality is (again, not my business) but she does a lot of good covers and never changes pronouns. i like sweater weather and shut up and dance with me a lot.

oh !! ben j pierce !! 2 v good songs about how gender roles r bullshit n heteronormativity is awful. hes also like my exact age n i luv his makeup tutorials.

there are honestly so many more. also a lot im forgetting. im so sorry you had to read thru this long incoherent post w my awful typing

anyway if u want my full gay playlist on spotify just msg me off anon and ill give u a link (this goes for anyone btw !!) im currently adding + taking things out n its a constant work in progress but u know, its at least not the same 8 songs over and over again (no shade at 8tracks tho….ha …)

#xylo speaks #sick beats #anon #ask #i know tumblr will mess up n put this in the tags of all these artists #im sorry in advanced #the only reason im not putting slashes thru all their names #is bc this post is hard enough to read already #sorry!!! dont mind me!!!!#this is btw not including songs that are like #gay but not really ??#gay bops by straight artists i mean #so like #example: its raining men by the weather girls #also these are all pretty modern #but dont think im missing out on george michael #im a big 80s fan #and ever since i came out my mom has been aggressively suggesting gay 80s music #in an attempt to relate #its sweet #but also means my playlists are all either #1980s synth or 2017 edm #and no in between #Anonymous #its 4 am btw #i swear im an adult w a functioning sleep schedule #this really is a mess im so sorry #i went back to schedule this for earlier since i forgot to change my time oopsie doopsie

anyway i think there is a viewership dissociation i’m seeing re: sense8’s cancellation in how some are celebrating while others are mourning

sense8 had a lot of problems. this was a popular and critically well-received show produced by two trans women, but the wachowskis have a history of racism that permeated the show and their status as trans women doesn’t erase that. fans who uphold it as peak representation needed to understand that. it had issues from the very first episode with will’s introduction (literally the first scenes we see of him) as a white savior, the fact that four out of the main eight characters are white (and all the ones involved in the main plot), the main black character is living in poverty in africa caring for his mother sick of aids, how the mexican gay male main character was overdramatic and occasionally flamboyant, the east asian girl is a silent lone wolf martial artist who mostly shows up to save the day, the south asian girl is struggling with an arranged marriage and doesn’t have an arc outside of her love triangle with her husband and a white guy she barely knows. and like, i say this genuinely loving all of these characters, acknowledging they have much more depth than i’m making them out to be for the sake of this post: these stereotypes are problems. even tho the crux of the show (as i personally read it) is based around how people who embody stereotypes do still have lives and families and feelings and depth, they are still stereotypes, and gender/sexuality/racial diversity should also include diversity amongst different kind of non-white and non-cishet livelihoods.

so i’ve been seeing a relevant discussion about moral purity in media since the sense8 announcement. every show will make mistakes and if we only keep morally pure shows on air, obviously we’d be left with very little. i’ve always felt that most tv mistakes will be disappointing and should be subject to criticism, but there are usually signs among viewers when some mistakes are quote-unquote unforgivable and can’t be fixed with an apology or retconning (an example of a universally acknowledged -- in left spaces at least -- unforgivable mistake is sleepy hollow killing off abby mills and claiming it’s because she was expendable while ichabod, her white male costar, was integral to whatever future plot they were going to squeeze out of their rear end).

a lot of this urge to look over mistakes vs decide something is unforgivable has to do with how much a person is invested in the show in the first place; i was heavily invested in sense8 so i was really let down when it was cancelled. for some people, game of thrones ended for them when they had jaime r*pe cersei or ramsay r*pe sansa for shock value; i know for me, that show has offended me enough with how it treats its women that i won’t be sad to see it go. and i’m sure some people were sad when sleepy hollow ended, but i stopped watching it years ago and didn’t react to its cancellation; i thought “good, maybe they’ll learn their lesson and won’t shaft their female black protagonists in the future.” (though i know rationally that’s not the takeaway they’ll have, because i’ve seen too many examples of shows gone wrong to expect producers to make that logical jump.)

so i understand that for some people, sense8’s mistakes were offensive enough that they didn’t feel we were losing anything worthwhile when it was over. and again, i’m not going to argue with people hurt by sense8’s portrayals of its nonwhite characters. i will say that for me, sense8 frustrated and occasionally embarrassed me, but its worst mistakes in its representation of marginalized people were never egregious enough to inspire me to quit watching, like got or sh. other people have lower tolerances for bullshit, and draw the line for their media rep closer to that idealized representation perfection and decide anything that toes across that line isn’t worth their time. it’s also just as possible some of them just genuinely weren't interested in sense8’s plot, or got bored during the slow-paced first half of season one, and they heard about the issues and decided this wasn’t a huge loss to them. (but anyway this is not an argument that everyone should’ve liked sense8 despite its flaws. it was a weird show and it wasn’t for everyone.) there are tons of reasons why people who want diversity might feel lukewarm on sense8, or not even hugely bothered by it ending.

at the same time, i can’t understand fully wrap my head around people being happy about it being cancelled with no reservations. i know logically that its cancellation won’t bring change to future diverse shows. future producers and writers aren’t going to look at sense8 and say “people were unhappy about sense8 because of its portrayal of racial or gender issues, and we need to do better.” future producers are going to say “this diverse scifi show was a huge risk and it didn’t pay off so we’d better stick to the same formula, i guess.” like, that’s my fear. i want to be clear i am not arguing that people swallow down racism or sexism or transphobia or ableism in their television just because its cast is racially diverse; but i am worried that boycotting or treating every mistake equal to another will be received the wrong way by producers who have the money to decide what stories to tell next. like, people absolutely have the right to refuse to watch a show if it sets off their alarms. i ignore several shows people hail as diverse bc sometimes a show just doesn’t do anything for me (eg brooklyn 99), and even tho i’m rooting for it i’m not gonna bend over backwards to make enjoy like it when i just don’t. however if brooklyn 99, a diverse show which i feel nothing for and im sure may have its own issues, got cancelled, i don’t think i’d be celebrating; i’d be worried what future producers are reading from its failure, and that they’ll draw the wrong conclusion that diversity itself was the issue. inviting diversity means people on both sides of the aisle will complain about either the specifics of its portrayal or the diversity itself, and i’m worried they will decide they won’t want to make the risk at all.

#sense8 #representation #media #i did my best to articulate this but it is also 1am #and sorry if some things didn't come across clear #gonna go to sleep before i probably piss someone off with this
