The Gender-Nonconforming Musicians Bringing Rebellion Back to Rock

Rock ’n’ roll grew out of rebellion—nonconformity. But society has become more permissive and accepting, and there are fewer and fewer ways to not fit in. Gender is one of the last frontiers. Here are three artists who are blurring the lines of gender and bucking the conventional norms of masculinity, femininity and sexuality. It just so happens that they all have new albums you should check out now.

The Artist: Troye Sivan
The Album: Bloom

He’s only 23 years old, but Troye Sivan is already considered a gay icon. (The South African-born Australian singer-actor got his start on YouTube.) His second album promises more contagious pop anthems celebrating youth, love and joy.

The Artist: Christine and the Queens
The Album: Chris

Back in 2017, French pop sensation Héloïse Letissier (a.k.a. Christine and the Queens) said that fans could expect a “sweaty and tougher” sound from her sophomore album. What exactly does this mean? More ’80s funk but with harder hitting, higher tempos. Her first album had you grooving; this one will have you jumping up and down.

The Artist: Hubert Lenoir
The Album: Darlène

With hoop earrings, red-stained lips and a phallic fleur-de-lis tattoo on his rear end, Hubert Lenoir is somewhat of a polarizing pop star in his native Quebec. Even though his 11-track debut album, Darlène, came out at the beginning of the year, he’s been shortlisted for the Polaris Music Prize, so now is the perfect time for English Canada to find out what all the francophone fuss is about.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
