Bookish Playlist: Dystopian

It’s time for another book themed playlist! Today I will be focusing on a genre: dystopian. AKA a futuristic society where the government rules with a heavy hand and there is injustice. It’s one of my favorite sub-genres.

I’m a Wanted Man-Royal Deluxe

-This song has Rowan Damisch energy from Scythe

Let Me Live/Let Me Die by Des Rocs

-This song has The Maze Runner energy

Ready Set Let’s Go by Sam Tinnesz

-This song emulates The Hunger Games

Legendary by Welshly Arms

-I think this song could be used to describe Divergent

Bury Me Face Down by Grandson

-Have you read the Matched trilogy?

New Blood by Zayde Wolf

-What about the Delirium trilogy?

Monsters by Ruelle

-This song seems to call to the classics like 1984 and Brave New World

Natural by Imagine Dragons

-The perfect song to describe how the societies are leeching off weary souls, like in The Handmaid’s Tale

Throne by Bring Me the Horizon

-A great song for the revolution!

Pompeii by Bastille

-for the wreckage of the city, of the post-apocalyptic world

Radioactive by Imagine Dragons
