Image Source- Track art for “October”.

Between Hiveswap Act One coming out a year ago and the Hiveswap Friendsim being well underway, I’ve been feeling a bit nostalgic for the source material. However, since I don’t happen to have a few hundred hours to actually reread Homestuck in its entirety, I’ve been content just listening to the soundtrack again, and oh my god, I forgot how fantastic it was. Most of it falls under the broad umbrella of “experimental instrumental”, but within that are so many different subgenres, there’s bound to be something in there for everybody. Doing a standard “top 10” wouldn’t feel right, there’s no way I could pick a definitive “best” or rank my favorites, so let’s just run through a couple standout tracks.

Well, this certainly got away from me. It appears I might have a fundamentally flawed understanding of what a “top 10” list is supposed to be. Or maybe I should just do an actual top 107 instead of trying to cram that many songs into 10 entries. I didn’t even get to touch on every album in this list, I’m sure plenty of fans are upset that I didn’t include Alterniabound or Prospit & Derse, so there’s plenty more here to discover that I didn’t manage to cover. No matter what your tastes are, there’s sure to be something in this 600+ song discography that you’ll be into.
