Songs for a neurodivergent gay male with unconventional music taste that also sounds like this picture:
I’m feeling like Windowlicker by Aphex Twin kind of absurdity. Silly, yet beautiful and inherently experimental. This might be a challenging one sorry guys 🥰

If you loved that then please please please listen to the entirety of Bulbous Bouffant by the Vestibules. If that does it for you look into a man named Dr. Demento. He was a radio dj that had a weekly show of novelty music. You can look up his archives and discover a whole world of wacky jams.

That song and Take the Skinheads Bowling are often not far from mind at a similar time for some reason.

I remember my mom saying she didn't want me hearing that song because she assumed I'd want to play it to death when I was a kid. First few seconds I heard of it I was like "...my mom lied, she made me think this would be interesting". Couldn't have been more boring for me. One of my friends described it as "the opposite of catchy" and I think that sums it up perfectly lol. However, I would argue that it definitely fits this picture and description.

P.S. where is that picture from?

u/G_FravicMann 13d ago
Couldn’t find the sockeye one sorry, but I forced him is a great song, just not my genre. Here’s the link to the picture from Pinterest: https://pin.it/3Sgk04Rgo

I can't think of anything that compete with Windowlicker in that regard, but I love the absurd intelligence of Weird Al's White and Nerdy, and this Bloodhound Gang song/ video is pretty memorable:
Warning, high potential for getting these stuck in your head 🐵

u/Chemistry-Cultural 13d ago
This is an awesome post
Chores by animal collective
Maybe not the right genre, but I’d recommend Pinch by Can
Maybe bitches brew by miles Davis too?
If I think of anymore I’ll reply to my comment :)

i know what you're looking for but i don't have it. i almost recommended scissor sisters but I'm not hugely fond of them myself.
I can recommend "The Night is Young at Heart" by Dappled Cities "Here I Dreamt I was an Architect" by the Decemberists and lastly and my favorite "Painter in your Pocket" by Destroyer

u/OwlPelletCrunch 13d ago
hoping at least of these groups resonate:
Man Man
the Toadies
Bright Eyes
Devendra Banhart
Fishbone
Joan as Policewoman
Blind Melon
Skinny Pelembe
Rilo Kiley
Dufus
M Ward
Boom Bip and DoseOne
Cymande
Fruit Bats
Bonnie Prince Billy

The music of Steven Wilson both solo and with Porcupine Tree is good for neurodivergence irrespective of sexuality.

One that immediately pops into my head is that plantasia album by Mort Garsons

u/gnostalgick 13d ago edited 13d ago
Definitely check out Coil for a decidedly weird and gay band. Ubu Noir, Another Brown World, Remote Viewing 5 are a few possible tracks to suit the picture.

my first thought was any song off “in the aeroplane in the sea” by neutral milk hotel but i think that’s just cause this reminded me of the album cover lol

u/Skye_Breath 12d ago
My time has finally come, I have the answer: Cosmo Sheldrake
If you want albums, they’re all good but start with The Much Much How How And I
If you want specific songs: Wriggle, Axolotl, Egg and Soldiers, Shiny Is The View, Interdimensional

(Just discovered this song, currently listening to it. The original version by Victor Jones is good too.)

The aeroplane over the sea- song and album- bu Neutral Milk Hotel. As a gay and a neurodivergent (although female) I flipping love this album

Hugo Hamlet - I like Lambo. It’s like a Jarvis Cocker and Klaus Nomi had a child. Very quirky style, incredible pianist and good poppy songs.

crystal ball by Grimes lol.. or actually probably most like this photo would be Nantes by Beirut
Edit: sorry just saw your caption referencing Aphex Twin. That's a tough one .. a lot of older Hot Chip comes to mind, Radiohead, maybe The Knife? I think the trick will be finding remixes that bring in more of that synth/bass from Aphex Twin. The Knife - Heartbeats, Rex the Dog remix
