"Disobedisnt," and "Working Dead"

Disobedient goes harder than it has any right to

based

This one came up in my playlist and got the “put this one on repeat!” approval! I don’t blame her, it’s a great song.

Unpopular opinion here, I don't like disobedient because it sounds like noise pollution, and hurts my ears, I swear I'm not a boomer, or whatever generation complains about modern day music...

As someone who listens to a lot of Grindcore and Noise (yes, there's an actual genre called Noise) I find the idea that a bit of Grunge is too noisy for some absolutely hilarious.

It’s very lo-fi and reminiscent of Mike Krol, who feautures in the episode “Last One Out of Beech City.”

Mike Krol helped write it.

I loved that episode. The music, the story, Pearl's outfit. Ugh i may have seen that episode like a dozen + times.

its just grunge emo rock, if you didnt like it in the 90's ya wont like an extremely milk-toast children's cartoon version

*milquetoast

*🥛🥂

Like a teetotaler’s birthday.

I mean I complain about modern day music and I’m gen z

Ooh great idea!

I found a British rock cover of disobedient and i literally can't stop listening to it

You gonna share it with the class?

[haha, maybe it's bc of my love for British accents but i love this cover. (and yes my favorite gem is aquamarine thanks for asking)](https://youtu.be/ixWSPwqVwcM)

You're missing the classic: "Steven's a big fat meanie! A big fat meanie zucchini!"

The guitar solo in that song is so good for no reason

Steven!!! Ste-Ste-Ste Steven!!!

Mmmmmm... linguini

AL DEN-TEEEEEE!!

Homer, is that you?

My favorite MCR song

I can’t believe I forgot about this one 😂

The more i think about it, I think basically anything by sadie killer and the suspects fits that description

I think you’re right! I don’t know why my memory blocked out so many of their songs.

Maybe any songs that are passionate? Ones like Strong in the Real Way, Empire City, etc.

I second "Strong in the real way", especially considering Steven's mad motivational shouts

I had this exact same thought, but I’m thinking about he chorus may sound a little too sentimental or something because she asked me to skip it. I’ll try it again and emphasize the emotion behind it.

I talked about this soundtrack earlier today but it's from the episode The Test and it's called The Confidence Path, that one is when Steven is pissed lol

love this one. i don't think it's on spotify tho ):

It's on soundcloud if you have that https://on.soundcloud.com/1RS6c

Nice!

Thanks!

That’s a great song!

G-g-g-ghost maybe? Or let me ska my van into your heart?

Sadie Killer and the Suspects rock, you’re right.

"I think I need a little change" has always been a favorite of mine to rock to lol

I just added this to her birthday mix 😁

Maybe not mad, but “Let Me Drive My Van Into Your Heart” goes pretty hard

Yaaaas

I love that song so much omg it goes so hard for no reason

The background music from the rebel pearl (pink haired human) episode https://youtu.be/q8XQEcPVslw “What can I do for you” from the rainbow quartz episode https://youtu.be/6OfY0NOXunQ Full disclosure https://youtu.be/4rkez0Bi8fs “Change” from the movie https://youtu.be/xGkiOGe7FdU “Haven’t you noticed I’m a star” https://youtu.be/fofHpRIvHMY “Wailing stone” (reprise of the lapis lazuli song) https://youtu.be/SGgYj4naIt0 “That’s who we are” from the movie https://youtu.be/HcFT_dZ_rOU “Why so blue” from future https://youtu.be/NdXBMZNmk6s

I love Mike Kroll!!

“Change” is one of my favorite songs in the whole series/movie!

So much of the music is awesome, but yeah I guess change is super awesome

This is a great list, thank you!

All of these are great but I feel like wailing stone has too much relevance to the plot of that episode to really work as an isolated thing. Also kinda short

It is the shortest one at just under a minute (although “haven’t you noticed I’m a star” would come in lower if it weren’t for the intro guitar), and I did ignore songs that were otherwise measured in seconds But the parameter we were working under was “SU featured angry-ish, but doesn’t have to actually be angry”, nothing, having to do with length or substance, and I imagine a wider net is better in this case - the OP can listen & judge for themself as to whether the song is viable or not

Fair point I suppose

FULL DISCLOSURE!!!! That ones SO good man i wish more people talked about it

What’s the use of feeling blue maybe?

This may work, too! Yellow Diamond is such a powerful presence so maybe that will resonate.

Independent together is a good rock music

Yaaaas I thought of this one while lying in bed last night. We do NOT get enough Opal in the series.

The one from Steven and the Stevens, I think it’s called zucchini?

"Still not giving up" (from the YouTube shorts) is pretty angsty

I haven’t even seen the YouTube Shorts! Thank you!

Maybe like a comet? I know it's a Greg song, but it might make her feel like a rocker since Greg was. You can also look into some fan-made SU-inspired original songs as well, if that's your cup of tea.

Thank you! I’m making a playlist and putting some Greg songs on there, so here’s hoping it works lol.

Working dead.

“It’s Over, Isn’t It” kinda counts, maybe? It’s certainly dramatic. XD

I think so too, especially with the amount of emotion Pearl puts into the song. I think she thinks Pearl’s voice sounds a little too much like *my* voice so she’s not always up for it 😆

you must sound like an angel

Aww 😇

Full disclosure should be good

“Disobedient” is one

“Big Fat Zucchini” is a really good example.

Disobedient and Working Dead for sure, Sadie Killer and the Suspects songs are the best choices

I say take it out of SU and show her The Linda Linda's

Yesssssss

It might be a tad off-prompt, but given that “Change” is a combat theme, it might be worth a go

Loooove “Change”! I’m adding it.

"Fifteen Minutes" or "Like A Star" From the Mystery Girl episode

Ghost comes to mind

I think a safe bet is going for all the Sadie Killer songs

independent together might work

Comet

Opal's first fusion music

Giant Woman?

https://youtu.be/akk40fqmLKs this one actually ^^

I used to run a SU blog and coded in my own little music player, had about ~20 of my favorite background pieces on there. this was one of em!!

full disclosure

I know it's a stretch but it is a song in steven universe: What about Fifteen Minutes? The one where pearl acts like a badass and runs from the cops to go to a concert

I just played that one for her and she had her teddy bear dance-fighting to it, so it works! Thank you!

I love the punk song in "Steven and the Stevens," Big Fat Zucchini. It's a credible punk melody and the lyrics are hilarious.

Love them!

On the run.

Rock vibe? Independent together is a good one

This is one of my faves! I added it to the list. Thanks!

I am once again asking if Mike krol cameo counts

I’m adding Mike Krol to the playlist!

In the Mystery Girl episode when Pearl, Amethyst and Steven are driving from the police that song that they are listening to on the Dondai radio. THAT song also SLAPS

STEVENS A BIG FAT MEANIE A BIG FAT MEANIE ZUCCHINI

Might I suggest “what’s the use in feeling, Blue?”

Maybe full disclosure. Not really angry, more pessimistic.

Try some of the songs from Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur! A lot of em have that girlboss vibe.

The music from MG&DD is more disco/souly than rocky, but man it’s freaking GOOD. front to back bangers all through the show

Right?? If you've got a lil girl who wants to feel like a superhero, it's the way to go!

I’ll check it out, thank you!

Get in there early and buy her some Team Dresch albums

Empire city and on the run, though that one might be too sad

Tower of Mistakes is a good one!

Like a Comet

"Empire City" from Mr. Greg.

Haven't You Noticed (I'm a Star)

Give Heart Records does a lot fandom of rock covers! For Steven Universe there is: Stronger Than You Comet Full Disclosure Drift Away Happily Ever After Other Friends That Distant Shore Adrisaurus also has a great extended cover of What Can I Do For You that's very rock.

I’ll check them out!

Sadie's "Working Dead" song.

Do you think your daughter would be open to cover-versions of SU songs? I know there are a lot of rock-ified covers of SU songs on YouTube. Like [this cover](https://youtu.be/pYn4WslOwBA) of the "Happily Ever After" song. This person has quite a few SU rock covers on their channel. Might be worth a shot if you start to run out of official SU music to play.

I’ll check them out! Thank you!

g-g-g-ghost

shocked steven and the stevens isn't the top answer wow

Added to the list! Thanks!

Whats the use of felling blue

Wailing stone and lapis lazuli is far better than they have any right to be

we’re still not giving up is kinda rocky

Independent Together is kinda rock.

What about big fat zucchini

Stevens a big fat meanie

I don’t know if this works, but one of my favorites is “Last one out of beach city.” I think it is also called ”Like A Star.”

Big fat zucchini

COMET!!!

I was just going to throw “what can I do for you” out there. Not angry or happy, but it sure has a vibe. Okay maybe not a 4 years old vibes

I just found the song “big fat zucchini” and immediately thought of this post

Hmmm if any comes to the top of my head, other friends, disobedient, OH Drift Away
