Songs that feel like The Boys (2019)
A cynical, blood-spattered satire where corporate-branded idols hide rotten souls and grieving, blue-collar underdogs fight dirty with dark humour and fury.
- Hero by Family of the Year: A wistful take on heroes that plays against the show's brutal dismantling of the idea.
- Blitzkrieg Bop by Ramones: Fast, rowdy, three-chord punk energy matching the gleeful chaos of the Boys' scrappy missions.
- Bad Reputation by Joan Jett: Swaggering, middle-finger attitude for a crew that doesn't care what anyone thinks.
- Lust For Life by Iggy Pop: Restless, defiant drive and gutter-level exuberance.
- Holding Out for a Hero by Bonnie Tyler: Over-the-top 80s bombast that becomes deliciously ironic against the show's rotten supes.
- Know Your Enemy by Green Day: Punk rage against power and the call to resist authority.
- Killing In The Name by Rage Against the Machine: Furious anti-establishment fury at corrupt institutions.
- Boys Don't Cry by The Cure: Buried grief and bottled-up hurt behind Butcher's tough exterior.
- Welcome To The Jungle by Guns N' Roses: Sleazy, menacing swagger for a city that chews people up.
