Announcing the r/horrorpunk 2026 Mixtape Project
One of the reasons this subreddit was founded was to discover new horrorpunk music. And this community has been great. You've shared your favorite classic tracks, new releases, and music from brand-new bands. Some of you have even shared music that you've written and recorded yourself. No matter what you've shared, it has all been great. Please keep that up.
Let's channel this energy into one playlist. When somebody asks what horrorpunk is, you should be able to point to this playlist and have them understand it.
So I'd like every user here to list artist and song title, which will be added to the list.
RULES
- Please only submit one track per user.
- Song submissions will be up until May 31.
- I love the Misfits. You probably love the Misfits, too. But they seem like too obvious of a choice. So let's leave them out of the equation for the time being.
- Just like the subreddit rules, no hate speech is allowed. Wanting to annihilate all of humanity is just good lyrics. Wanting to annihilate a specific group of people is bigotry. You know the difference.
- The song has to exist on these streaming services, otherwise I literally can't add it to the playlist.
- For bands and musicians: Your own music is allowed. Yes, I mean it. Self-promote. I want you to. But once again, your music has to be on a streaming service, otherwise I have no way of adding it.
Beyond that, there are no limitations on what music you can submit, as long as it falls within horrorpunk. Give me old favorites, new songs, or anything in between.
Stay spooky.
EDIT: Depending on what music is available on what platforms, different versions of the playlist may end up with different songs. I'll try to catalog those differences here, or in a different thread, once the playlist is finalized.
