True Crime Community

Just to reiterate, I am not a TCCer, I do not condone any of these people. I just find niche online communities like this to be endlessly fascinating. This will be organized kind of like a journal, due to personal preference.

Entry Two

5/2/25

This time, I kind of want to talk about TCC playlists on Spotify. There probably won't be that many screenshots in this one, since I don't want to take the time to edit out usernames. I've looked at TCC playlists before and I noticed that a lot of them include exactly what you'd expect; music enjoyed by school shooters (ie KMFDM), violent music (ie Cannibal Corpse), edgy music (there was a band that came up multiple times who has an entire album of songs about serial killers/mass murderers) and incelcore music (ie Negative XP). There's also an uncomfortable amount of overlap with music I enjoy, which was making me feel kinda weird. Also, some songs that just do not fit the vibe and made me think "I could make a better TCC playlist than this and I'm not even a TCCer".

I think the way I'm going to do this is...I'm going to describe the playlist (ie image used, title, description), discuss the song choices, say how many songs on it overlap with songs in my likes, and rate it. Me and my Museum of Death shirt are locking the fuck in, or whatever. Sorry. What the fuck am I talking about.

Formatting gets kinda shitty after the read more, but it's still legible. Just not as spaced out as I'd prefer.



Playlist #1

The first playlist I'll be looking at is aptly titled "TCC" and is described as "for average tccers and/or incels" and includes songs the creator has heard in tcc edits. The image is a picture of Adam Lanza (Sandy Hook perp). Nothing stands out to me here, it's pretty run of the mill TCC stuff. The username is very incel coded though.

Here's a sampling of songs:

  1. pipe_bomb by heelflip (very popular on these lists)
  2. tcc by a clean break
  3. Columbine by Nightmare At Hanging Rock
  4. Eric and Dylan by Lord Raahl
  5. Dylan Klebold's Diary by Snob Value
  6. Suicide Is a Pretty Chad Move by Columbine Carcass
  7. Schizophrenic and Armed by TzarBombah
  8. zeroday (demo) by h4rtbrkr
  9. Mass Shooter by Belowground
  10. Picture of a Girl Slitting Her Wrists Hidden In a Kid's Toy by Crustsox
  11. School Shooter Tendancies by PopKill
  12. Me & My Gun by KMFDM (banger, unfortunately)
  13. Pumped Up Kicks by Foster The People
  14. 5th Period Massacre by Leathermouth
  15. In Praise of School Shootings by Acidrodent
  16. Elliot Rodger by The Underachivers
  17. SANDY HOOK by Funerals, Padilla
  18. Mkultra Victim by Negative XP
  19. Caramelldansen by Caramella Girls (???????)
  20. Incelcore Star by Fried by Fluoride

This music is fucking awful, I'm not going to sugar coat it. I've been listening to this playlist while typing this and it's actually genuinely terrible music. I've actually decided to just sit here in silence while doing this. This first playlist has 108 songs on it, so this isn't That big of a sample size. A majoritiy of the songs have something to do with incel culture or school shooters with a few serial killer songs mixed it (ie Charles Manson). There was at least one song about Chris Chan, which is interesting. There were also some meme songs included because these people are terminally online.

Summary & Rating

  • Title: TCC
  • Song Count: 108
  • Runtime: 4 hr 33 min
  • Overlap*: 3
  • Rating: Exactly what I expected, except for the Caramella Girl cameo. 9.5/10.

* as in "overlap with songs in my likes"

Onto the next playlists... 👇

Playlist #2

This second playlist is charmingly titled "tcctarded" and described as "u just dont get it mom!!!!". The image is Fluttershy from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic photoshopped (very well, honestly) into a somewhat dark, very pink bedroom, with a laptop in front of her.

A little sampling of the songs:

  1. Spacey Bitch by Lords of Acid
  2. library suicide by heelflip
  3. Waterboarding God Untill He Explains Why My Life Sucks by Columbine Carcass
  4. Real Gamers Disobey Gun Laws by Columbine Carcass
  5. Megalomaniac by KMFDM (another banger, I fear)
  6. 3S' by Mindless Self Indulgence (stupid, sadistic, suicidal)
  7. thigh gap by ratrace90210
  8. slow torture puke chamber by baby soup (I thiiink this is the title of a Lucifer Valentine movie?)
  9. Hurt by Nine Inch Nails
  10. Sorry, but hte fucking msi cover of Big Poppa is on here, you can't be serious lol
  11. The Bad Touch by The Bloodhound Gang

This playlist includes nearly the entire discographies of Lords of Acid, Columbine Carcass, KMFDM, and heelflip. Mindless Self Indulgence was entirely expected, but I feel like I didn't see them as much as I thought I would the first time I decided to search for TCC playlists.

Summary & Rating

  • Title: tcctarded
  • Song Count: 146
  • Runtime: 9hr 19 min
  • Overlap: 20 (oof!)
  • Rating: Not varied enough, not curated enough. 5/10.


Playlist #3

This one is titled "TCC (biohazard emoji) (TikTok (bow text symbol) Songs!) (music text symbol)". No description is given. The image is a drawing of two boys, presumably school shooters, being cutesy and gay.

This is gonna be an interesting track list...

  1. Caipirinha Caipirinha by avoidleaks (like the ancient, almost 20 year old, meme)
  2. Little Girls by Oingo Boingo

  4. Pumped Up Kicks by Foster The People
  5. The Bad Touch by The Bloodhound Gang
  6. Closer by Nine Inch Nails
  7. How Do You Do - Aryan Classic by avoidleaks
  8. Ugly Boy by Die Antwoord
  9. Shut Up (And Sleep With Me) by Sin With Sebastian
  10. Eat My Rotten Meat by (...doesn't say?)

There's a lot of songs that just feel incomprehensible.

Summary & Rating

  • Song Count: 46
  • Runtime: 2 hr 47 min
  • Overlap: 5
  • Rating: Incomprehensible, 1/10.

This is looking like a standard playlist...

  1. Me & My Gun by KMFDM
  2. Pumped Up Kicks by Foster The People
  3. Cassie by Flyleaf (I don't think I've seen Flyleaf on any other playlist)
  4. Columind by Filter

  25. Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit (not Limp Bizkit, dude...)
  26. People = Shit by Slipknot
  27. Cheap Vodka by Acid Bath
  28. Dragula by Rob Zombie
  29. Schizophrenic and Armed by TzarBombah
  30. Columbine by Nightmare At Hanging Rock

...I was incorrect! There was a lot of just...normal music on here, which stands out because so many of these playlists are terminally online incelcore playlists. This was an interesting one to skim.

Summary & Rating

  • Title: tcc
  • Song Count: 182
  • Runtime: 11 hr 17 min
  • Overlap: 23 (which tracks, since almost none of it was incel type beats)
  • Rating: Kinda TCC, but not really seeing their vision? 5/10.


Playlist #5

This is gonna be my last one for this entry, but I do want to revisit TCC playlists at a later date. This one is also the longest and has...odd choices on it. Like, you need to keep in mind, these are playlists for people who idolize school shooters and serial killer. There's also a lot of incels in this space. The description says "in memory of adam,dylan, eric,pekka,salvador,nikita......:("

This is an odd one, for sure...

  1. The Great Gig In The Sky by Pink Floyd
  2. Freshman Boyfriend by h3artcrush (listened to part of this and it's like having a mental breakdown)
  3. Pumped Up Kicks by Foster The People
  4. Where Is My Mind? by Pixies
  5. Undone - The Sweater Song by Weezer
  6. Deceptacon by Le Tigre (love this song, but huh?)
  7. Blow My Brains Out by Tikkle Me
  8. Faggot by Mindless Self Indulgence
  9. IN MY MOUTH by Black Dresses
  10. The Cult of Dionysus by The Orion Experience
  11. I Threw Glass At My Friend's Eyes And Now I'm On Probation by Destroy Boys (love Destroy Boys)
  12. I Don't Wanna Be Me by Type O Negative (banger)
  13. You Love Me by Kimya Dawson
  14. puke my gutzz O_o by zeija
  15. Washing Machine Heart by Mitski

This one had a lot of MSI, KMFDM and Mitski? It's...really odd. There was also a femtynyl song, I think.

Summary & Rating

  • Title: tcc playlist
  • Song Count: 202
  • Runtime: 10 hr 20 min
  • Overlap: 23
  • Rating: Not as TCC as the last one, 2/10.

That's it for now. Here's a good song: DISCO SLEAZE by Michael Medrano. Bye.

Entry One

3/18/25

CW: Columbine, suicidal ideation, discussions of mental illness, slurs (ableist, racial)

The first post I was hit with was a post discussing what Dylan Klebold, one of the perpetrators of the Columbine High School Shooting in April of 1999, was wearing during the shooting. A detailed breakdown, which is honestly pretty interesting, but referring to it as a "kit" was kinda funny to me.

Not going to screenshot the entire thing, since that isn't really the point. I'm not going to link to it either because I don't want to put this person on blast (they're an adult, I just don't think it would be beneficial for anybody). While I was scrolling through the Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold "kits", I briefly thought "shit, do I dress like a school shooter?". Then I kept scrolling.

I do want to talk about OP for a second though. I just have a few comments. First, it's always strange when somebody is a Columbiner and also fully an adult (a bit younger than me, but...that's still fully a 20-something year old). Second, choosing to actively identify as a NEET Columbiner is crazy, that's embarrassing.

Side note? I empathize with the TCC people heavily, I was bullied quite severely as a kid (undiagnosed bipolar, AuDHD) and was actively suicidal and didn't expect to live past 16 years old. Just to give a baseline. I drew pictures of me killing myself(1) in my sketchbook during class on a regular basis. I understand what it's like to be in this headspace. Just in case any of these kids end up here.

Back to the TCC content... 👇

This is an interesting post, but it's more because of my opinions on media and this might be a conversation more suited for the Proship/Anti thing. I'll say it like this…there's real life reasons I like certain fictional things. Odd to act like that isn't the case (however, my sexual attraction to slasher killers isn't indicative of hybristophilia, just as an example).


This is just really surreal to me, to the degree that it just kind of crosses over into being a bit funny, in a morbid way. If you're unsure who this is, this is Adam Lanza, the perpetrator of the 2012 Sandy Hook School Shooting.


Girl......for those not terminally online in true crime spaces:

  • Tsuji Natsumi, most commonly known as Nevada-tan, murdered her classmate Mitarai Satomi in 2004, in Sasebo, Nagasaki Prefecture. She was 11 years old at the time of the crime. Her victim was 12 years old.
  • Samantha Rupnow is the perpetrator of the 2024 school shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin
  • Anissa Weier and Morgan Geyser are the 12 year old girls from the 2014 Slender Man stabbing where they attempted to murder their friend to impress the fictional character Slender Man.
  • Alyssa Bustamante murdered a 9 year old girl, who was her neighbor at the time, in 2009.

The fanart is always the most jarring thing when browsing these tags.

So many of these people looove to say r*tard, the way this word is making a comeback actually makes me kinda mad.


This image has been haunting me for weeks and I'm not even exaggerating.


Song of the moment is CVNT by Sophie Hunter. Byeeee

(1) by hanging usually, if you were curious…why did you check the side note on this?
