Bonus points if they are women, feminist, and not TERFs.

I've always been a fan of putting on some Alanis Morissette or Paramore (I fucking love Hayley Williams and her new solo album too). I recently found Sofia Isella too. I'm hoping to add more artists to listen to!

Pennywise, against all authority, black flag

I'm on a similar path. Here's my current playlist.

U-Huh by Tkay Maidza

Little Girl Gone by Chinchilla

Bad Girls and Paper Planes by M.I.A

Side note: I wanna listen to Bjork because I feel like the media really tried to steam roll her, back in the day, I'm not sure. I haven't had vibes for her style to look deeper into it yet.

Chappell Roan, Lorde and Billie Eilish can fill the void, sometimes too.

Kids (ain't all right) by Grace Mitchell

Flawless by Dorothy

Golden to Thrive by Samsaruh

Talk Deep by E^ST (her voice! Swoon!)

Habits by Tove Lo

Exs and ohs by Ellie King. (I have mad respect for her for all she went through with her Dad)

Not entirely just femme but this one has a beautiful premise and fem singer, *white blood by oh wonder. They wrote the song after their friends battle with cancer. It's representative of white blood cells fighting for your life, but as personification.

Beautiful by Joydrop. (I deep dived into my younger selves music and absolutely loved this, and still do in this version of myself, it seems.)

Fire fire by flyleaf (which addresses the toxic lies that shape young people struggling with family dysfunction and personal identity. )

This one is just beautiful and I love it so much. Saved the best for last. *Ngana Nyunyi by Tilly Tjala Thomas

We hate you by Electric Wizard or black metal

[-] Newhere@lemmy.ml 2 points 15 hours ago

Lilith Max - I love her! Very matriarchal.

And one of my latest founds I enjoy most is this track: ๐–‚๐–Ž๐–™๐–ˆ๐–๐–ˆ๐–—๐–†๐–‹๐–™ - Witch House _ Ritual Trap _ Dark Ambient _ Occult Electronic _ Gothic

Kiki Rockwell. Angry AND witchy.

[-] Eskarina@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago

I fell so hard for her when we had this other music stuff some weeks ago <3

[-] Wren@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

I probably recommended her then, too.

system of a down. they have some bad takes in their music, but on the whole its surprisingly accurate criticism of the usa and life under capitalism. i listened to them as a kid and didnt realize how right they were. i dont listen to them much anymore because tbh their music just makes me more angry most of the time. thats all i can really say without getting into politics.

[-] velma@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

Good rec. System of a Down still slaps (for the most part). Definitely good angry music.

Strawberry gashes is still a helluva banger

[-] Bryllyg@piefed.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 day ago

Laura Jane Grace

Soccer Mommy

Florence + The Machine

Angel Olsen

Ora Cogan

Agnes Obel

(I was also going to say Screaming Females but Velma got there first hehe)

[-] LazyBaby@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day ago

Does anything really beat Kittie? Poppy also has been good (she covered Spit recently)

Skunk Anansie (early years) - political, loud, angry, lots to say about everything.

War on Women - feminist hardcore punk. The vocalist gives me big Zack de la Rocha (Rage Against the Machine) vibes.

Sharptooth - feminist / general political metallic hardcore. Mix of clean and harsh vocals.

Lambrini Girls - UK punk band. Definitely angry music. The vocalist shouts more than sings. There's even an anti TERF song "Terf Wars".

Nekra - Angry old school sounding hardcore. Only a few pretty short tracks. They've just released a new song for the first time since 2020 and I'm pretty happy.

VIOLENT VIRA - Recently discovered. I think maybe the best way I could describe it is emo grunge? Sometimes rage angry, sometimes sad angry, and a lot to say about everything. Mostly clean vocals with some screamo parts. Seems pretty young still, like the kind of stuff I would've loved when I was a teen. But an artist to keep an eye on for the future too.

Lambrini Girls

Love seeing the multiple recommendations for Lambrini Girls! They're kickass!

[-] That_Bitch_Is_Cily 3 points 1 day ago

I LOVE VIOLENT VIRA! But I get more melancholy vibes from her mostly.

Yeah I guess in a way I really just wanted to sneak that suggestion in there. Although I think there's a bit of being pissed off in the melancholy as well.

[-] OliveBrittle@piefed.ca 7 points 1 day ago

I've been getting into My Chemical Romance a lot more as of late.

Aside from that, Shiloh.

Run the Jewels has been a staple of mine when Iโ€™m feeling fiery for a long time

And Iโ€™d like to start getting more into riot grrrl artists, itโ€™s a genre I havenโ€™t explored much yet

[-] RedSeries 5 points 1 day ago

Love me some rtj. Killler Mike's bars always feel sharp af

[-] blkvvvs@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

Rico Nasty's last album RX slaps.

Uniity - Emotional Damage

And if you are looking for bipoc punks:

Punk Black

[-] GiantChickDicks@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

VIAL, Tracy Bonham, Veruca Salt, and Rico Nasty are some of my favorites that go hard.

Edit to add: Definitely check out removedology 101 by Lambrini Girls. It's too good.

[-] nylo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

woooow censoring cunt is so not cunt.

no queers on ml staff ig.......

[-] velma@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

VIAL and Rico Nasty - niiiiice

[-] That_Bitch_Is_Cily 7 points 1 day ago

Not Enough Space, Dying Wish, Spiritbox, Honey Revenge, and Renee Rapp are my favorite "fuck you we're all badass women" artists :)

[-] velma@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago

-Screaming Females

-Bikini Kill

-IDLES

All punk more or less. I've been especially partial to Screaming Females lately when I'm feeling rage-y, but all 3 of these really hit that high-energy, rage at the machine kind of feel.

[-] dkppunk@piefed.social 5 points 1 day ago

Hell yeah! Lots of riot grrrl when Iโ€™m angry. Also lots of Green Day, I love Reject and the entire Nimrod album for some angry punk in the car.

[-] RedSeries 5 points 1 day ago

I actually had Dookie on repeat today before swapping to Morisette! Love green day

[-] dkppunk@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago

Currently rocking out to Reject in my car lol ๐Ÿ’š

The Warning is sick. 3 sisters from Mexico who found out they fuckin shred. Voice of Baceprot is another sick all-women band from i believe Indonesia? Both worth checking out

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rulesโ€ฆ

  1. Women onlyโ€ฆ trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isnโ€™t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Donโ€™t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Donโ€™t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
