Who are some artists you listen to when you're feeling angry at the world?
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!

Good rec. System of a Down still slaps (for the most part). Definitely good angry music.
what are the bad takes?
Kiki Rockwell. Angry AND witchy.
I fell so hard for her when we had this other music stuff some weeks ago <3
I probably recommended her then, too.
Does anything really beat Kittie? Poppy also has been good (she covered Spit recently)
-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.
Hell yeah! Lots of riot grrrl when I’m angry. Also lots of Green Day, I love Reject and the entire Nimrod album for some angry punk in the car.
I actually had Dookie on repeat today before swapping to Morisette! Love green day
Currently rocking out to Reject in my car lol 💚
Run the Jewels has been a staple of mine when I’m feeling fiery for a long time
And I’d like to start getting more into riot grrrl artists, it’s a genre I haven’t explored much yet
Love me some rtj. Killler Mike's bars always feel sharp af
I've been getting into My Chemical Romance a lot more as of late.
Aside from that, Shiloh.
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.
Love seeing the multiple recommendations for Lambrini Girls! They're kickass!
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.
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.
VIAL and Rico Nasty - niiiiice
woooow censoring cunt is so not cunt.
no queers on ml staff ig.......
Not Enough Space, Dying Wish, Spiritbox, Honey Revenge, and Renee Rapp are my favorite "fuck you we're all badass women" artists :)
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)
Lately, lambrini girls: C.U.N.T. I'm gonna do what's best for me I'm cunty!!!!
Anything classical?
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
Rico Nasty's last album RX slaps.
Uniity - Emotional Damage
And if you are looking for bipoc punks:
Punk Black
bipoc_punk
Femtanyl
peak mentioned
Jack Off Jill
Strawberry gashes is still a helluva banger
Absolutely. Also love When I Am Queen.
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
Paris Paloma and Sofia Isella are both amazing!
Insect Warfare
!
Probably Infected Rain (fronted by Lena Scissorhands).

Lilith Max - I love her! Very matriarchal.
And one of my latest founds I enjoy most is this track: 𝖂𝖎𝖙𝖈𝖍𝖈𝖗𝖆𝖋𝖙 - Witch House _ Ritual Trap _ Dark Ambient _ Occult Electronic _ Gothic
Apes of the state
In This Moment
We hate you by Electric Wizard or black metal
