"Good Morning, Captain" came on through my earbuds, and I had this overwhelming sense that this is just music for boys who are angry because they're not getting any.
Others?

fight club is definitely on there
like, not to get too patrick bateman, but i feel like a lot of incels could really relate to "i don't care anymore" by mr. phil collins
then again they could probably also relate to "satisfaction" by the rolling stones, though they'd probably prefer devo's version

Except for global's post, a lot of this seems like unpleasant projection to me but I'll try to actually engage: if "Good Morning, Captain" is the Slint song, why do you hear it that way? I find it moving and poetic. "Just music for boys who are angry because they're not getting any" is not at all what I get from an epic track inspired by "Rime of the Ancient Mariner", about a shipwrecked captain trying to reconnect with an abandoned child. It could be a metaphor and is definitely open to interpretation but I've never thought of it as having to do with sexual frustration or misogynist resentment. If you meant one of the other songs named "Good Morning Captain" then nm.

The stuff listed so far seems way off to me! Wouldn't it really be, like, K-pop, J-pop, and video game music of all kinds?

a whole bunch of Stranglers songs, particularly Ugly and I Feel Like A Wog
(New Wave seem particularly incel-ish as a genre? Devo have already been mentioned, also Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson, Any Trouble etc)

"Trying to think of songs about people who construct an identity around disingenuously blaming others for their problems..."
I like to think that Pink Floyd's The Wall features highly in the minds of the incel community.
Which is ironic, because two of the people in the band were called Roger! But not at the same time.
Also "nick mason" is a sexual term.

w/r/t DEVO, I think if the time they were at a party and some woman casually referred to them as being queer... one of the members retorted that he'd fuck her right there and then. that just seems so classically incel!

thread needs a distinction between "music that expresses friend zone-y sentiments" i.e. most stuff here and "music that incels listen to" i.e., like, "lose yourself" where every line is replaced with "mom's spaghetti"

Someone mentioned Buzzcocks upthread, ‘What do I Get?’ Is a very incel sentiment. Though feel bad lumping them in with them as they would hate everything they stand for.
