When I was about 11, I wanted to desexualize myself. I hated objectification. I gravitated towards music where the singers were either male, or didn't show their face much (think, SIA).
Did a little deep dive on some of the music that shaped me growing up, and found a lot of rapists.
- Trent Reznor, from NIN (this hit me the hardest, that someone who could write such emotional music about feeling used, etc, could hurt a woman in this way, and probably think nothing of it)
- Rammstein (bit more obvious)
- Cake (the drummer might have molested a KID
- Marilyn Manson
- The Killers (never proven, but I believe women at this point no matter what, after a group of men lied about a dude sexually assaulting me at work, and the only person who spoke up with the truth was the woman who was there, thank god)
They are all humans, and at the same time, they are all also monsters.

TIL that the majority of the bands I listening growing up with male singers had sexual abusers in them - intentional deep dive.

Same here, I was a huge Backstreet Boys fan lol. Nick Carter has had several rape allegations from metoo. Sad because it seems like he was abused himself and is continuing the cycle, but he's still not taking any responsibility...
I liked Kasabian and Ryan Adams too...probs more. Cause men are shit.
And yep, re: Killers, where there's smoke there's fire. There is no reason for women to lie about this stuff. I unfortunately know this first hand.
