When people think of a song about being ugly and unattractive, they immediately think of the hit "Creep" by Radiohead. Take this thread for example:
https://incels.is/threads/radioheads-creep-is-the-ultimate-incel-anthem.510785/
(I wonder why I can't link .is threads like everyone else)
But I don't agree with that. To me, Creep feels more like a song that is targeted to normies. Radiohead in general is too much of a normie band. This was my response in a similar thread, "Are Radiohead the ultimate incel band?"
Normie band and normie song. Creep was the favorite song of my sexhaver highschool classmate who had a Stacy girlfriend.
The fact is that in that song, I don't feel the bitterness and hopelessness that an incel would feel. It's more like a phase, or something that caters to a normie who had his first bad experience with a female. Someone, in the first thread, already mentioned some of the songs of The Smiths like "How soon is now" and "Last night I dreamt that someone loved me" as better incel songs. But those too are too tame in my opinion.

Morrisey, the lead singer of The Smiths, made music with another band after they split. In my opinion, the lyrics of his songs are the ones that come closest to the incel thougts and experience. Some of them are openly about lookism. This is strange, considering that Morrisey is not an incel, and was considered attractive. I don't know why he writes these sort of things, maybe he was lonely when young. Besides, you can't expect to see an actual incel rockstar.

Here are some extracts of the lyrics of the songs from his "greatest hits" album, "You are the Quarry".

I Have Forgiven Jesus​

He asks god if he hates him for giving him ugly bones and giving him love and desire, even though he can't do anything with them.
I have forgiven you Jesus
For all the desire
He placed in me when there's nothing
I can do with this desire

And why did you give me so much love in a loveless world
When there is no one I can turn to
To unlock all this love?
And why did you stick me in self deprecating bones and skin?
Jesus, do you hate me?

The world is full of crashing bores​

In this song he laments how the world is full of and designed for boring normies
Silly women, taxmen, uniformed whores
They who wish to hurt you
Work within the law

This world is full, oh
So full of crashing bores
And I must be one
'Cause no one ever turns to me to say
"Take me in your arms
and love me"

Let me kiss you​

This one is the most explicitly about lookism
Close your eyes
And think of someone you physically admire
And let me kiss you, oh
Let me kiss you, oh
But then you open your eyes
And you see someone that you physically despise
But my heart is open
My heart is open to you


Clarification: this is not about incel tastes, "truecel trait", and what kind of music an incel is likely to listen to (hint: it's not "incelcore"). I'm only talking about song lyrics that resonate or explain the incel situation. In fact I believe that listening to popular music and music with lyrics in general is a normie trait. A social outcast incel weirdo would probably like weird ass oddly specific music that nobody knows and has no lyrics, like this:
 
I agree. Also check out this band. They dealt with lyrics about loneliness, not belonging, depression etc. Similar to Joy Division musically. And the singer actually jumped in front of a train and commited suicide due to years of loneliness and depression. Also unlike Morrisey he wasn't conventionally good looking which makes him even more relatable.

"All my problems loom larger than life
I can't swallow another slice
Seems like my shadow mocks every stride
I learn to live with what's trapped inside
I, I can't
Escape myself
So many feelings pent up in here
Left all alone, I'm with the one I most fear
I'm sick and I'm tired of reasoning
Just want to break out, shake off this skin"
 
God Radiohead are so overrated and Creep is too
 
Fell asleep to Morrisey yesterday on my 70s stereo setup
 
What about the doors? "People are strange ", "when the music is over"
 
Great thread. I like Morrisey's music as well and I 100% agree radiohead is a normie ass band. A foid I knew was obsessed with their music, especially the song 'Creep'.

The Doors is legendary but their music isn't about inceldom at all. Jim Morrison was a chadlite and never really wrote about lookism. The Doors' thing is spiritual transcendence, "break on through to the other side". They are certainly one of my favourite bands of all time but they simply aren't relevant in any discussion of "incel music".

Yeah u rite, because inceldom wasn't a thing back in the 60s, and I also agree that the doors is one of the best bands of all time
 
I noticed that too. It's funny that he literally had the chad haircut in the 80s.
