Okay, this is kinda strange, but does anyone know any good ‘Villian songs?’ Or just music that kind of gets you in the mood to write about your antagonist?? Because I would LOVE to know some more songs like that

...Villian music??
For reference, the ones I like are ‘The World is Not Enough’ by Garbage and ‘Nobody Wants to be Alone’ by Christian Reindl (:
Literally any Disney villain song. Some personal favorites include:
- Be Prepared (The Lion King)
- Friends on the Other Side (The Princess and the Frog)
- Poor Unfortunate Souls (The Little Mermaid)
- Oogie Boogie's Song (The Nightmare Before Christmas)
- My Lullaby (The Lion King 2)
Oooh Friends on the Other Side is amazing… Kinda forgot that song existed tbh XD
Thanks!

hmm,,,i don't know if this song gives off 'villainous' vibes but i think it's melodramatic, so pretty close.
Love Crime - Siouxsie Sioux & Brian Reitzell : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4EZTVO-LIg

The Silent by the Tragic Tantrum has Vibes to it but otherwise I wouldn’t know. Billie Eilish has some good stuff.

Some of my favorites:
- Castle - Halsey
- Ain't no Rest for the Wicked - Cage The Elephant
- Killer in the Mirror - Set It Off
- you should see me in a crown - Billie Eilish
- Choke - I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME
Oooh those are good- I haven't heard of Killer in the Mirror or Choke, I'll have to look those up!! Thanx (:
Any midtempo/dark synthwave/Industrial bass is pure villain energy IMO
A good example:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQysbfALMiw
this song reminds me of my antag for some reason j3db3jh3b https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5N4ygIlbhUM&t=2s
I gathered a few more :)
- Crooked Hearts by Hula Hi-Fi - https://youtu.be/gVMBexcr6UI
- Curses by The Crane Wives - https://youtu.be/8Gopg80VXwc
- Play Dirty by Kevin McAllister - https://youtu.be/4j6Wbt8_zUo
- The Fire by Clear Blue Fire - https://youtu.be/4L57lmX2QKg
Foreign Object and Werewolf Gimmick by The Mountain Goats are good for scrappy, violent antags ✌️
Thank youuuu!!

Weirdly, my protagonists are usually the scrappy ones XD
I put some lil' descriptions this time :)
- The Law by REACH (for loud and arrogant villains I guess, probably in high positions of power)
- Motherland by REACH (for the jazzy, old-fashioned, mafia/gangster type of villain)
- Higher Ground by REACH (for the charismatic villain, fanatic, almost like a cult leader?)
- Hell No! by Mel Senese (for the villains that think they're the hero, sort of playful and colorful?)
- The Punished by Defragmented (for overpowered, badass villains with dramatic entrances)
- Be About It by Chris Leamy (for a depressed or frustrated villain with a tragic backstory probably regretting their decisions, maybe the villain's sidekick)
- Beast Mode by Club Danger (for aggressive villains with ruthless tactics)
- Main Event by Future Royalty (for the dramatic villains that like to play with the hero and put on a show)
Stealing your description idea, Sock
Don't Mess With Me by temposhark (meglomaniac, someone who is sure in their command)
Slipping from Dr. Horrible's Sing A-long Blog (more of an anti hero vibe)
I'm Gonna Win by Rob Cantor (Unrelenting villain, maybe a bit more of underdog?)
Feel Better by Penelope Scott (a villain motivated by loss)

Okay I love good villain music. Here are a few ones I like:
- Emperor's New Clothes - Panic! At the Disco. This is a good one for a villain that's had everything taken from them and they're getting back at what they think is rightfully theirs
- Say Amen (Saturday Night) - Panic! At the Disco. A chaotic villain that does not care.
- Hail to the Victor - Thirty Seconds to Mars. A serious villain that is extremely powerful and gives off some sci fi vibes.
The most villainous of villain songs:
