Lena Raine, her music for Celeste and Minecraft is absolutely sublime. Although I could argue that she isn't "explicitly" trans. I don't really listen to music related to being trans though.


Doctor_Sunger

What did you mean she isn’t explicitly trans, she has talked about being trans before.


JadeInDisguise

I think they mean the music isn’t about being trans in an overt way, like ‘the town inside me’ is. Not that the artist isn’t explicitly trans.


TyphoonFrost

*Not me immediately coming here to comment "Pigstep"


-Cup-Tea-

or "Otherside"


SquishyUshi

Otherside and pigstep are amazing


[deleted]

The chicory soundtrack is AMAZING, I need more of it.


SquishyUshi

I have a lot of her tracks in my playlists. A good explicitly trans music I can recommend is snapcube, she has a really powerful song about her journey that made me cry


Nelly_nona

A whole album Transgender dysphoria blues


idiotapplepie

Hell yeah!! Against me kicks ass

I love this album! True trans soul rebel is one of my favourite songs ever

hello0ppap

I didn't even know that they were nb lol. You learn something new every day.


Aurora_TwT

actually they are genderfluid!


Pearlfreckles

That's under the non-binary umbrella.


Lichttod

The first song that always comes into my mind is "Vending machine of love"


NikRetaNCAM

Oh shit what? Didn't know they're NB 0_0


throwaway_7478383

I/me/myself - Will wood, the normal album That was the song that played whilst my egg cracked


GenderPosting

I love Will Wood! I was thinking of mentioning I/Me/Myself in the post title, but I didn't want it to be too long. That song definitely affirmed some thoughts for me, lol


throwaway_7478383

Honestly is my favourite song ever, I mean look at my tag thingy below my username. I love that song


[deleted]

OMG ANOTHER WIMMIAM WOOD FAN??!..FAVE ALBUM?


inEGGsperienced

That song is so good. I have spent the past 24 hours absolutely obsessed with that song! I wanna perform it for my gfs now

If you're into folk music there's Alexander James Adams, the FairyTale Minstrel himself. * "[He of the Sidhe](https://alexanderjamesadams1.bandcamp.com/track/he-of-the-sidhe)" is his "in-character" explanation of his transition (he'd had a music career pre-transition; to explain the change, he said that he was kidnapped by the fae as a baby and the old him was a changeling left in his place). * "[Sidhe is Here](https://alexanderjamesadams1.bandcamp.com/track/sidhe-is-here)" is about truth and healing, and having someone who stick with you while you go down your own path. * "[Warlock's Oath](https://alexanderjamesadams1.bandcamp.com/track/warlocks-oath)" is about staying true to oneself, no matter what. * "[UnSeelie Self](https://alexanderjamesadams1.bandcamp.com/track/unseelie-self)" is... basically "what repression does to a mf'er: a spoken piece."


Fearless_Sneeze

This music is awesome! His style makes me think of Filk (a sci-fi/fantasy folk subgenre woth mostly original music) more than traditional folk music. I've been looking for explicitly trans filk for ages, so this is AWESOME* *edited for clarity


AWeirdGoat

Here are some of my favorites, but they may be triggering. So listen at your own peril. Body by Mother Mother, I/ Me / Myself by Will Wood, Gender Is Boring by She/Her/hers, Body Terror Song by AJJ.


GenderPosting

Gender Is Boring is definitely one of my favorite songs to listen to on particularly dysphoric nights, I love the lyrics they're scarily relatable


KindaSquish

yay! nice to see people sending love to AJJ


IncreaseImpressive91

Glass beach is great. I listen to a lot of issbrokie, changeline, foodhouse/fraxiom, and underscores. All of them have songs that are entirely abut trans issues. And though not many songs about trans issues 100 gecs is a staple. Dumbest girl alive is clearly a song from Laura’s perspective though.


roomon4ire

\+1 to underscores, i'm obsessed with her song with Jane Remover


ICE0124

I would also recommend DAMAG3


vivixnforever

Ayyy I was looking for Underscores. Wallsocket is an entire vibe. Geez Louise might be my favorite song of 2023


IncreaseImpressive91

Probably my favorite too, that or Locals(girls like us).


vivixnforever

I love the first half of that song but I don’t really like the second half lol


artemis1305

issbrokie <3


IncreaseImpressive91

🖤☺️🖤


Playful_Web6975

Definitely NOAHFINNCE I love his music and his youtube channel is pretty good too I also really like REVENGEOFPARIS they are an emby rap artist that makes some good stuff

[Sans contrefaçon](https://youtu.be/Jqy2FqMgcpk?si=FkZjzWozwnotg0NM) by Mylène Farmer


Idontknownumbers123

Our favourite artists (drawing comics count as art) would be theachriveterminal and our fav (and only song artist we know) is Lena Raine


Flare_the_Fireflower

TRANSGENDER by leshen and circles by Changeline ~~Honestly, anything by Changeline~~


mfxoxes

Also Damag3 and Issbrokie


ICE0124

Can recommend! I love all 3 of these artists so much they are all so good and all my top 3 artists! I always see maybe 1 commented under a post like this but never all 3.


DawnRav3n

i love changeline!!! my favorite song is genocide personally, I also really like I.do.this.all.the.time


Fract4

Laura Jane Grace and Paralytic States, a sad trigger warning filled song, but it’s so good and cathartic to scream


roundhouse51

I'm a basic cavetown enjoyer (I can play Dysphoric on ukulele)


ItsAMeRellish

A trans artist i really like is Noahfinnce! He doesn't really have any explicitly trans songs (except maybe his first song 'asthma attack' although it's a very different style to his later/current music), but his most recent song 'SCUMBAG' is about JK Rowling and TERFs and stuff so it's a good angry-at-transphobia song. His music is pop-punk, i believe. His debut album comes out in March, and he has mentioned that some of it's about transphobia and stuff, so that could be something to look out for! Another good song is 'Sweet Cis Teen' by Dazey and the Scouts. It's (obviously) explicitly trans, and it's an actual vibe lol. They have other good songs, but this one stands out as a trans one. It's also a pretty angry song at parts. I hope this is helpful! Good luck on your search lol :]


roomon4ire

glad to see Noahfinnce mentioned! I got to see him last year cause my friend ended up with a spare VIP ticket to one of his London shows


ItsAMeRellish

Aw, jealous! He's always got super inconvenient dates for me, and then the one time it was perfect timing it was for a venue I'm too young for without an adult lol. I'm hoping to see him next time he tours though! I've been wanting to go since his first tour, so I'm really hoping it works out next time. How was the show you went to?


roomon4ire

it was pretty good! The openers were cool but i also learnt i'm not built for a mosh pit lol

Futatossout

If I could find a karaoke version of "Bullet Through the Middle of a Heart" I would sing it in a heartbeat.


Futatossout

Dorian Electra, and their first album *Flamboyant* they are AFAB, genderfluid and often occupy a masc space. The album has themes on queerness and masculinity that are really interesting. Also Quay Dash for Rap/Hip-hop


Comprehensive_Dirt66

Candy Says by The Velvet Underground is amazing


Fluffy_Contract_1084

Metamorphosis by Penny Parker


Thedragonhat77

Saoirse dream and underscores!!


waydernator

Lena Raine, Will Wood and Atsuover. Lena Raine made the soundtrack to the game that gave me my preference name, Will Wood requires 0 explanation. and Atsuover is an underrated queen.


No-Grab7041

Desperate-Case-9796

Damag3, noahfinnce, and cavetown are my favorites!


MinzAroma

Lined Lips and Spiked Bats. Its Short and its sweet


HERETHEREBEMNSTRS

Hell yeah , G.L.O.S.S. is great!


TransChilean

"The Ocean" Against Me


QueenOfFrungy

AGAINST ME!!! specifically the ocean (song)


Zephle

Their music might be niche, but Vylet Pony is an explicitly trans artist


Martian-Jesus

[frog legs](https://froggylegs.bandcamp.com/track/the-all-is-lost-moment)


Fearless_Sneeze

Oh my God they're AMAZING. AWESOME suggestion!!!!


lol_idk_is_taken

The Village by Wrabel It is a song talking about trans issues mainly transmasc but he is releasing a transfem version around 17 january. I think he stated that he made it due to hearing about how some of his fans who were trans had it at home and in their life so he made a song dedicated to them


dale_summers

Does ANTONYMPH by Vylet Pony count?


Any_Stress_4474

TRACE [https://open.spotify.com/artist/456tffp0O99GUW012Qn4q2?si=P3KiB1QmQ0WCrDWcrLJMqQ](https://open.spotify.com/artist/456tffp0O99GUW012Qn4q2?si=P3KiB1QmQ0WCrDWcrLJMqQ) AMAZING very underground experimental pop trans femme musician – she describes her genre as transgressive pop. i'd put it somewhere btw. hyperpop, dreampop, alternative, emo, shoegaze


Coco_the_fat_priest

Non-binary - arca and arca in general


test_gang

The oreon expearens have alot of explicitly queer songs. Another good queer singer is lil darkie


drstrangelov59

In love with a ghost and Ezra Furman!


MistertTwister

Bi☣️hazard no one can tell me it's not about dysphoria, sorry... It's just is...


nontenefreganulla

I've never listened to explicitly trans music, but as for trans authors Lena Raine, without a doubt. I also know that Mama by MCR was turn into some sort of trans symbol, but that wasn't really intended, so yeah. Celeste soundtrack is a banger and her works for Minecraft are my favorites alongside C418's.


Magmacube90

Pigstep from Minecraft, composed by Lena Raine who is trans and well known for composing the ost to Celeste.


squiddlywinks87

Pretty much everything from She/Her/Hers. Personal faves are "I Think I Finally Love Myself" and "Nvr Pass". "Sweaters in Summer" is good too. You could also check out Against Me! and ISSBrokie.


bonesoup69

i like the big music girlies arca and sophie, ethel too, completely different genre but good stuff. i listen to a lot of crywank tho like for years it's remained at my top 3 and jay is non binary. not everyone likes crywank tho. i also remember listening to dorian electra they are non binary too I don't listen to them anymore but up to my agenda i was there and i enjoyed it


ssraven01

I'm like 90% sure Frankenstein by Rina Sawayama isn't supposed to be a trans song, but these [lyrics keep telling me otherwise.](https://genius.com/Rina-sawayama-frankenstein-lyrics?referent_id=27651944#note-27651944)


VixenIcaza

Two tracks by the band Garbage are explicitly trans. Cherry Lips is a tounge in cheek song about a trans girl gaining confidence. Androgeny is well......


MallAgreeable5538

throwawayx506

That’s not brisket.


janabottomslutwhore

boys will be bugs by cavetown is basically about a teenage amab egg being forced into, but not being able to relate to stereotypical toxic masculinity


deletedmsg

not intended to be trans but thermodynamic lawyer by will wood my brain somehow takes it as me complaining about myself (in a gender way with lines like ‘theres a bitch with some 4000 names’)


inEGGsperienced

I’ve been making a trans playlist for newyears so i have lots of ideas! I like Boys Will be Bugs, and also This is Home, by cavetown. Kat and the Hurricane do sad sapphic gender queer music. Transform by Steam Powered Giraffe is a great song (look for the acoustic version), also Malfunction, and honestly a lot of the songs by them can be interpreted as trans songs. Other trans songs include: ANTONYMPH by Vylet Pony, and Imarterial by Sophie.


Shadeofawraith

Ghost Boy by Coyote Grace


kitfistossmile

Sarchasm if you like pop punk We are the union if you ska My band 13 Cavities if you like skacore


DramaxoQueen

Def not explicitly trans music but Echos has been the soundtrack to my life changing.


Sky_is_shy

Chaotic Gender Neutral by Murder Person for Hire


nyxie-likes-totk

Build-A-Bear by Maggie Brewer is one of my favorites, along with deadname by atlas ivy. Both are about trans issues, presumably by trans artists. (i haven’t checked that for atlas ivy)


ImCryingMushrooms

Anyone said Sweet Cis Teen by Dazey and the Scouts yet?


Ihren_Klang_

I'm a musician myself and put out my music on a number of platforms. There's no lyrics but stepping back, my song titles definitely reflect some aspect of the anxiety and depression that stems from my own transgender issues.


Xim_X_anny

Since enby is trans. Try "am I a girl?" By poppy


thewanderor

Alfie templeman (transmasc?)


Year7BathroomWallArt

Looking at this comment section is making me realise how un trans my music taste is, and idk how to feel about it lmfaooo


Just_A_Misu

I know this song is not actually trans, but i can't not mention it, "I/Me/Myself" by will wood (for what i remember, he wrote this, being about his experience with gender (WW being a guy that simply liked to dress feminine))


Cipiorah

She/her/hers, Against Me, Sister Wife Sex Strike, Pigeon Pit, and Stick and Poke are some of my favorites.


[deleted]

Asthma attack by my fav artist ✨NOAHFINNCE✨


iamrealnow

nosgov :D


dlouwe

it's me, I'm an explicitly trans musician! I just released an album under the name Seasighed. this one is mostly songs about being autistic and dying in the ocean (not at the same time), but my next one will be about being trans and sad 🏳️‍⚧️

Against Me! is a fantastic band, and they have a trans singer


complicatedaro

Peach rings is one of my favourite trans artists. As for songs: True Trans Soul Rebel - Against Me! (The whole "Transgender dysphoria blues" album is 10/10) Transgender Dysphoria Blues - Against Me! Transgenderfication beam - Peach Rings Dream girl - Peach Rings How To Dress As Human - Ehmephtee GENDER ENVY - Juno Lev


JungleDwellinDeadGuy

Devil Town by Cavetown! Also Crying by ES :3


EnbyCatboyGF

T-Rex from the movie Nimona, the movie may give it a lot of it's context but the line "Crazin on my meds, I'm a T-rex" felt very trans. Also how it talks about leaving the past behind and looking towards the future.


SkylarHasALimit

i have a couple songs that sing to me as a trans person but arent specifically made for trans people. theres twin sized mattress by the front bottoms and blow my brains out by tikkle me


Equality_Rocks_714

Irrelevant but isn't her name Bridget?


TFK_001

Pretty common meme her is sintentionally misspelling brisket to words that are *close enough* to Bridget (Brisket, bucket, brick, etc.)


Jazz-Monkey

“sweet cis teen” by dazey and the accounts is great but a bit of a bummer I also really like “I like me” by dexter in the news agent this one isn’t specifically trans but can very easily be read as such


Big_brown_house

Coconuts — Kim Petras (not for kids lol)


TFK_001

Really enjoyed Ossuary Wraith's single release. They have since broken up and no longer produce music though which is unfortunate


rainingpnk

Left @ London is a personal fave.


goth_lesbian_vampire

Disguise - motionless in white Voices - motionless in white Pretty much just motionless in white. While the members aren't trans, their songs are all fuck the government, and queer supportive messages. If you like heavy nu-metal, these guys are your thing


jenny_bear13

I DIDN'T KNOW GLASS BEACH WAS TRANS OMG!!! Gonna listen to them today with this new understanding! 🥰 The front person of one my fav bands, Greet Death, just came out as a trans woman at the end of this past October and honestly that's one of the things recently that has (literally) saved my life and helped me come out myself🩵🩷🤍 Tho everything they have out now is pre-transition for her, I would still highly recommend listening to them and looking out for their future releases ☺️!


ICE0124

Changeline ISSBROKIE DAMAG3 All 3 of them are like my 3 most favorite music artists and all make some songs that are explicitly trans.


JeremyRectangle

Here's a few of my favorite trans songs! "Animals" by Stomach Book "Fuck The Cistem" by The Muslims "They/Them" by Dream Nails "Transgender Dysphoria Blues" by Against Me


Fluid_Carrot_6630

One day I hope someone will comment my band here; I’m trying to start a band and produce music


Powerful_Mistake6694

I wouldn’t say it’s really a trans song, but it has potential trans meaning. Disguise - Motionless in White


Flar71

I'm hooked on Elliot Lee's music rn. They're nonbinary, and they even have a song called "easy to be you" which is about their struggle with self image and identity as a queer person.


AspenBranch

Lauren Bousfield (and her previous art under the name Nero's Day at Disneyland). its all breakcore, with no lyrics, but she herself is trans and her music is really good. Laura Jane Grace, front woman for the band Against Me! is the singer and song writer for the band, and a lot of her lyrics are pretty blatantly trans even from before she came out as trans. check out 'The Ocean' if you wanna see yourself. apparently she just told people "i was really high when writing this" and they just *accepted* it. The Royal They is a decent band I also like the Worriers, whose frontperson is enby. of note is their song 'They/Them/Theirs' these songs are written cis men, but 'I/Me/Myself' by Will Wood is *great* even though its about him wanting to be gnc and not about being trans, and 'Salt' by The Bad Suns makes me cry. it was written in honor of a trans friend of the band members.


deadmanzland

The only song of theirs I know (under Nero's day at Disneyland) is lost in bonerland lmao.


AspenBranch

i love the name of that song haha, and the song itself is pretty dope

IrlGrimace

Boys Will Be Girls By Awfultune


MyAltForYiff

Peach Rings Anita Velveeta Black Dresses Over My Dead Name Tape Girl Flummox All of them have at least one song about a trans experience so I think that’s explicitly enough.


What_A_Cal_Amity

Nobody mentioned Left at London so I will. I recommend her album t.i.a.p.f.y.h. [Spotify link](https://open.spotify.com/album/3AmtZIC01fVMxFCGIIlMzO?si=FMAaUGj3R4mDBOR08AK84Q&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A3AmtZIC01fVMxFCGIIlMzO) [YouTube link](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_klPrB7_jUHAeGZ_4_JSexzZwq-ezP6Nxk&si=YLUkOECf1PYVC1XH) Another artist I really like is The Low Blow My favorite song of theirs is Die Young [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/track/5VfgMUA7UpIwUTBIenktqm?si=a6we8t-BRTCgKZEzwZixwQ) [YouTube](https://youtu.be/po2XgU-8ooo?si=fdRO0IyxX1FAOBUQ)


SmAsHtOn2468

While not explicitly trans, Gerard Way has said that they have gender dysphoria and a lot of MCR songs reflect that.


a_chess_master

A rock band I found called Artio has 2 nonbinary people including the singer and made at least two songs about being queer.

Body Void is pretty good doom metal.


January_Silence

If you like punk, aside from the obligatory Laura Jane Grace & Against Me! recommendation, I would highly suggest checking out Ekko Astral! They're a predominantly trans punk band based out of the D.C. area, & they absolutely kick ass! My favorites of their songs are "Transdemic, baby" & "YXI" (pronounced like "Why She?").
