Gen and the Degenerates are a Liverpool punk-inspired rock band fronted by Gen Glynn-Reeves, with a sound that mixes swagger, trashy pop hooks, post-punk bite, and sharp-tongued social observation. Early singles and the EP Only Alive When in Motion introduced a band comfortable with attitude and movement, while Anti-Fun Propaganda gave them a fuller statement of purpose. Songs such as "Girl God Gun," "BIG HIT SINGLE," "Famous," "Kids Wanna Dance," and "All Figured Out" lean into queer energy, sarcasm, frustration, and the desire to make guitar music feel bodily rather than polite. The band fits punk and post-punk scope through sound, performance style, and lyrical stance, even when the choruses veer toward glammy alternative rock. Gen and the Degenerates are strongest when the music sounds like a grin with teeth: danceable basslines, wiry guitars, shouted accents, and hooks that refuse to soften the message. Their work treats fun and critique as compatible impulses, making the party feel slightly dangerous and the anger feel stylishly alive.
