Gen and the Degenerates release new music video for ‘Favourite Jumper’
GEN AND THE DEGENERATES have released a new music video!
The North‑west based indie art‑punk trio have unveiled their brand new single Favourite Jumper, which follows on from their previous single, Wahoo, which was released in June last year.
Produced by Michael Champion [WET LEG, SWIM SCHOOL] and Paul Whalley [THE WANTED, LOUIS TOMLINSON], Favourite Jumper confronts expectations placed on women and pushes back against bisexual erasure with humour and defiance.
Speaking about the track, vocalist Genevieve Glynn‑Reeves comments, “whenever the right wing is on the rise there is this puritanical pressure placed on women to be virtuous. Women are villainised for being overtly sexual and treated as if they don’t have agency or control over their own bodies.
We see this reflected in rhetoric around bisexual women settling down with men and almost relinquishing their queerness to try and feel safer. I think this is the perfect time to rebel against that and be as slutty and queer as possible. And so this is really just a fun party song of sorts, from the point of view of a bisexual person (guess what – it’s me), discussing previous experiences in a fun way, but also attempting to reconcile an honest and healthy relationship with a partner, with the totality of that sexuality and sexual history.”
