boygenius is a Indie rock act. Their sound grew out of Mike Mogis, Jay Som, Brian Eno, Hayley Williams and Hop Along.

They run in the same orbit as Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, Better Oblivion Community Center, Leith Ross and Big Thief, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Searows, Hayley Williams, LØLØ and LOLO, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
