I need to say this to someone and get it off my chest because its been getting on my nerves a lot, especially lately, and please do not misunderstand what im trying to say here nor take what im saying the wrong way. (I am not good with my words and i apologize in advance.)

Ever since alex g started getting the recognition he definitely deserves, ive noticed a real increase in...the wrong people finding his music i suppose? I mean ANYONE can listen to his music, and i am not mad or upset that he blew up on tiktok. Im happy to have so many mutuals now! What i am upset about is the really weird increase in homophobic people finding alex g.

I think anyone whos a fan knows that alex gs songs about the lgbtq are quite surface level actually. A lot of his music is about gay people, trans people, and overall a lot of characters written to be queer in his music. Its no secret - its in his lyrics and it isn't even necessarily subtle.

So im so confused on why so many people are pissed off or shocked when people say songs like the same or in my arms are about the lgbtq? Songs like adam or track 7 that i feel are quite clearly songs about being gay, or at least are written so they can easily be interpreted about queer experiences. I dont get it? Am i missing something? These songs have been deemed as queer coded for years... So why are people getting mad when someone says this? Claiming "sexuality doesn't need to be brought into everything" or refusing to admit that MAYBE a man who doesn't have any toxic masculinity in him is open to writing songs with gay or transgender characters. Am i misunderstanding what his songs are about?? Am i the wrong one? Do you guys understand what im saying? I dont want anything to come across the wrong way, i am just sad these people are finding alex g when hes always wrote about this stuff. Like, for years. But ive noticed people have been like this ever since 2023-2024, around the time he started to get popular. Refusing to admit that he has characters and that not everything he writes is ABOUT alex g himself.

What do you think? Would you say these songs are definitely queer coded or am i wrong entirely? Sorry if i said anything that doesn't sound right, like i said, im not the best with my words.

This is the seventh track off of Alex G’s 2011 album, Winner.

I won’t give my personal rating for Dust here because I will be gunned down but its not my favorite song

seems like he’s been doing every 3 years strong, so i’m guessing 2028. what yall thinking? lowkenuinely hope it’s 2027 but that’s wishful thinking

i’m just asking because genuinely i cannot for the life of me chose some songs over the other, if there was to be 10 or 15 what would you guys pick?

Mine are change, things to do, harvey, and go away long version.

Easy 10 for me

Yap about the memories tied to songs, interpretations you have, the lyrics and instruments etc. I want to hear it!!

anyone listen to the album “Molly picture” by God of war, and They are Gutting a body of water? Totally sounds like Alex G circa 2012 … Its a great listen, if anyone is interested in similar sounding tunes to that era. :) cheeers!

I feel like his influence in a few of the songs is pretty apparent. However, there’s one song called “Bobby” which as we all know is also the title of a pretty quintessential Rocket track. Do you guys think that it’s intentional/supposed to be referencing this universe of “Bobby?”

this is the fifth track off of Alex G’s 2011 album, Winner.
