Song: Jane Remover - So What
Genre: Glitch Pop
Description: this was jane remover’s year honestly - two albums, a mixtape, a bunch of leroy singles, and now one of the best pop eps of the year in lead up to her fourth mainline jane remover album. this song goes so insanely hard, combining everything that made jane’s music so attractive this year into an infectious, progressive 5-minute dance opus!

:primarina: DerpySuX :primarina:
Song: G Herbo - Blitz
Genre: Rap/Drill Rap/Chicago Drill
Description: G Herbo’s 2025 drill anthem off of his November album Lil Herb. Short and sweet with clean delivery and intense lyrics backed up by a masterful beat.

:primarina: DerpySuX :primarina:
Song: thouxanbanfauni - BLITZED TF OFF
Genre: Rap/Trap/Atlanta Trap

Description: 5 years after their divisive electronic-focused album, Car Seat Headrest returned to their rock roots, but with the added extra understanding of how each member worked with each other. Reality is the final culmination of this, with the guitarist on lead vocals, but a song that's just as emotional as almost any with the regular vocalist on it.

Genre: Blackgaze, Post-Metal

:espeon: Rage :espeon:
Song: Tunic - Sorrow's Grip

Genre: Hardcore Hip Hop, Boom Bap
Description: Erik Sermon resurfaced in December of 2025 and assembled an Avengers lineup of oldhead duos, from Red and Meth, to Snoop and Nate, to Salt N Peppa lmao (also worth a shoutout to the song How Long with Public Enemy on the same album)

Song: Gingerbee - Petal Dance
Genre: Chamber Pop / Emo
Description: i was late to this project but this is one of the finest emo songs i’ve heard in a long time. a shame that they’re disbanding after their final concert in march because this sound really is something special; a culmination of fifth wave emo and BCNR into a really glorious, raw song

Room Drivers

:cyndaquil: celebrating :cyndaquil:
Song: By Storm - In My Town
Genre: Experimental Hip-hop, Folktronica
Description: On the 4th single released for their debut album, By Storm takes what Injury Reserve left behind, and expands on the sonic soundscapes immensely. Weaving a disjointed, anxious narrative about financial troubles, this is one of the more texturally interesting releases in hip-hop, ever

:whimsicott: ToastNoButter :whimsicott:
Song: TWICE - HEARTBREAK AVENUE
Genre: K-Pop, Sophisti-Pop, Contemporary R&B
Description: TWICE is a group that most of the time makes pretty ok pop music, but I pay attention to them because they always have the potential to make something that just blows me away. Everything about this song is placed just right, the simply wintery beat with its lo-fi feeling guitar and delicate keys and synths, the vocal trading off and the bass in the midsection, oh man the vocals in general. This is for me, this is my song of the year.

:whimsicott: ToastNoButter :whimsicott:
Song: Ciśnienie - Gówno
Genre: Post-Rock, Noise Rock
Description: Of the four improv sessions of songs from Ciśnienie’s [angry noises], this would be the one that feels the most intentional in its atmosphere, plodding along through some eerie, nasty swamp of a soundscape, losing yourself in cyclical paths. Every time you feel you might escape, it comes to life and pulls you back in, descending further and further into chaos. Epic.

:whimsicott: ToastNoButter :whimsicott:
Song: miffle - remnants of a dream
Genre: Tape Music, Ambient, Electroacoustic
Description: miffle’s album “goodbye, world!” is incredible, and while I would like to recommend the song “long walk home” from it, I want to leave that for people to listen to within the context of the album. Instead, while this isn’t the climax of the album, this is the crystallization of its core identity, where it feels the most clear what the purpose of this album is: memories of a friend, cryogenic preservation of wisps, a final farewell.

Room Voices

:leafeon: April :leafeon:
Song: Mac Miller - Funny Papers
Genre: Jazz Rap
Description: Polished and remastered from a 2020 bootleg by his estate, the late Mac Miller takes a page out of the Beatles' book and spins a set of intimate, somber stories through the lens of the daily newspaper. Supported by a delicate, almost soaring piano hook, Miller's songwriting shines here as among the best the year had to offer. Soulful, introspective, and hauntingly human: Funny Papers is a gift from beyond the grave.

:leafeon: April :leafeon:
Song: Weatherday - Blood Online
Genre: Emo / Noise Rock
Description: Punching you with a grunge-y, crunchy riff that feels like being compressed to a smaller file size, Blood Online shares a snippet of an online relationship gone awry. No moment of this song feels wasted: the toxic self-loathing of the narrator, the broken state of their romance, and the metaphor of bleeding out as vulnerability are all injected right into your veins.

:leafeon: April :leafeon:
Song: Twenty One Pilots - Center Mass
Genre: Alternative Dance / Baggy / Rap Rock
Description: Twenty One Pilots just absolutely go to town on the sampler here, on a track that blends a Northside-esque baggy hook with acid jazzy hip-hop verses and an insanely cathartic post-hardcore breakdown. Simultaneously a head bopper and a tearjerker.
YouTube

:primarina: DerpySuX :primarina:
Song: Yeat - LOCO
Genre: Rap/Trap
Description: The entire Dangerous Summer EP is a contender for best trap project of the year, and LOCO encapsulates the energy of the album perfectly. The beat is insanely catchy and Yeat effortlessly glides over it with flows that switch from compact and smooth to slow and catchy, repeatable lines.

:primarina: DerpySuX :primarina:
Song: $uicideboy$ feat BONES - Now and at the Hour of Our Death
Genre: Rap/Trap/New Orleans Trap
Description: $uicideboy$ team up with New Orleans underground rapper BONES in a gritty and atmospheric trap track with decently intricate wordplay.

Song: 21 Savage and Jawan Harris - I WISH
Genre: Rap/Trap/Atlanta Trap

:pichu: namda :pichu:
Song: Hoshimachi Suisei - Caramel Pain
Genre: J-Pop
Description: I didn't discover this until much later in the year but it is a certified banger by Suisei, and is so catchy, and the particularly the end of each chorus is just UGHHH how did I not listen to Suisei more prior to this her voice is just so pretty and aaaaaaaaa

Song: Brother "D" with Collective Effort - How We Gonna Make The Black Nation Rise?
Genre: Political Hip-Hop, Disco Rap

Song: Laufey - Snow White
Genre: Jazz Pop, Pop
Description: Hearing this live was just incredible. Listening to the queen herself sing about and talk about the pressures that can be forced upon women specifically about appearance and how “they should act”.

[AbrarS]

Song: Eminem - Buffalo Bill
Genre: Hip-Hop, Rap, Horrorcore

Description: Produced by Dr Dre, this Relapse era Eminem song stands out for his extremely smooth delivery of the extended multisyllable rhyme schemes.

Unlike his angry delivery and choppy flow from later eras, he sounds much more polished, focused and on point in his delivery of this song about a serial killer inspired by the character of the same name from Silence of The Lambs.

Song: Scrim - do killers ring the doorbell?
Genre: Rap/Trap/Horrorcore

Song: Anohni and the Johnsons - Hope There’s Someone

Genre: Emo Rap

In this song he reflects on his past and contemplates if he truly deserves to be here and if he’ll be missed when he’s not. Scrim has grappled with themes like this in his music before but Runaway lays his feelings bare in a way we haven’t seen before.

Song: Run Along Forever, kill.dawn, subsad - LAX
Genre: Rage / Trap
Genre: There and Back Again blends Rage and Hyperpop elements and it honestly works super well. LAX is leaning a lot more on the Rage and Trap side but you can still hear some hyperpop influence in there. The song is very catchy and fun to listen to.

Song: Cave In - Sing My Loves
Genre: Sludge metal, Post-rock
Description: One of the longest tracks in Cave In's discography, Sing My Loves contrasts a lurching sludge metal riff and Caleb Scofield's throaty roar with beautiful singing from Stephen Brodsky. The chorus vocals make a return for the extended outro, slowly drowning in a sea of effects until the song ends just as it began, in a haze of guitar feedback.
