The track is from their upcoming 2027 sophomore album Earthy Delights
A vibrant and fiercely exciting UK band who’s sound is fizzing full of personality and acerbic, cutting edge appeal, Gen and the Degenerates have quickly grown into one of the regions most memorable and fun outfits, armed with a forward-thinking appeal and immersive narratives to match.
Their new single ‘Sex Symbol’ is a track that does a great job of encapsulating everything that makes them feel special, melding energetic dance-punk melodies with fiery, body positive message that feels as empowering and defiant as anything you’re likely to hear anytime soon. The synth-driven sound feels urgent and powerful while the message feels devastatingly relevant and impeccably resonating.
“People make strange assumptions about my personality and morality based on my body.” states vocalist Genevieve Glynn-Reeves on the latest single. “They think because I’m overtly feminine and curvy that I must be flirtatious or highly sexual when in reality it’s them who are sexualising something that I have no control over. I can wear the same exact outfit as a very slender person and be perceived totally differently in it. I’m pointing out the hypocrisy and taking a tongue in cheek look at what society expects me to be.”
