nonbinary/trans NIN fans: do you feel your gendering(s) held by their music?
Like The Fragile album specifically just queers up masculinity and femininity so beautifully for me... I mean the lyrical perspective feels like it channels a wounded masculine sometimes (but sometimes it feels gender fluid or neutral) but the music... fuuuuuck it is sooo queerly gendered to me. (I'm clearly not talking about Trent himself, but the soundscapes)
I listened to it on a mushrooms last year and I really learned a lot experiencing that. I don't really have words for it but it's like this genderless but deeply libidinous animal spirit I can feel resonating in me while experiencing that music.
It's also interesting bc I transitioned in middle age and I'm sort of re-experiencing the fierce power in the distorted rock in a femmine way... it's luscious... and different from the angry-sad doom and gloom place I experienced it pre coming out.
Curious how others feel the music in relation to gender identity? 👩🏿🎤🤘🏿🐉🥀🐦🔥
