Happy Pride month! Each year, we celebrate Pride at All Too Creative with a series of articles surrounding the LGBTQ+ community. To begin this year, we focus on lesbians and sapphics. Since we didn’t have a special article celebrating Lesbian Visibility Week in April, it was important for me to show some love to the lesbian community. Here are the best underrated music videos released in the past year that depict lesbian/sapphic culture.

“Mad” by Reneé Rapp

One of the most iconic lesbians to grace the music, theatre and TV scenes, Reneé Rapp is unapologetically herself. Her album BITE ME (2025) contains honest and introspective lyricism, without a care in the world of how it will be perceived. She released “Mad” as the second single, where she embodies a glamorous version of herself who is going to a party with her girlfriend (played by a frowning Alexandra Shipp). There is obvious tension in the air as she tries to reconcile a relationship that has accumulated resentment. She spends the video releasing her frustration at the situation and even ends up hanging by a chandelier. It shows the intensity of sapphic relationships and how it isn’t always rainbows. A hot and unhinged portrayal, just as we like them. 

“Mind Reader” by Alice Phoebe Lou

In a tender and delicate atmosphere, Alice Phoebe Lou gives us a cinematic rendering of a sapphic relationship. Through slice-of-life scenes, “Mind Reader” shows two people that wholeheartedly know and love each other but are now hanging by a thread. We see the happy moments that created this intimacy between them, while at the same time there’s a distance in the air that they can’t seem to close. “I’m not a mind reader, but for you I will try,” are the central thesis of the song—an attempt to close the distance between them for the sake of love. The domesticity and intimacy it represents shows how intricate lesbian relationships can be, and how genuine this kind of love is. 

“Best Guess” by Lucy Dacus

The lesbian community has been diverse since the beginning of time. This inclusivity is best portrayed in this video, which highlights gender non-confirming, masculine and non-binary lesbians. They are figures of today’s lesbian scene, namely Naomi McPherson from MUNA, E.R. Fightmaster, Towa Bird and Cara Delevingne. “Best Guess” at its core is a love song. What Dacus understood is that it doesn’t need to represent a romantic relationship. The love she talks of in the lyrics is directed at the community itself. There are bodies of all ages, ethnicities, in different stages of the transitioning process too. The message is that there isn’t one way to look like a lesbian and that we should celebrate diversity.

“Goldmine” by Chokecherry

Filmed in the golden hour before everything gets dark, Chokecherry portrays the secrecy of a same-sex relationship. Whether they’re under a veil bathed in sunlight in their room, or touching through the window of a car, there’s an unspoken element of isolation. This is often the case with sapphics who haven’t yet come out yet still harbour a desire to be loved and seen. The loneliness that ensues after the break up is all-encompassing with the empty spaces that they used to share. To me, it represents how complicated it is to go through a sapphic break-up when no one else knew about the relationship. It shows the impact such a relationship can have. 

“Crush” by Déyyess

Dancing in the middle of a nightclub, Déyyess brings to reality the feeling of having a crush on a stranger. This person might or might not be the love of your life. Half dreamscape, half concrete emotion, the music video shows captivating lesbian desire. The tension’s sharp as our two protagonists dance with each other. The atmosphere culminates in a moment where everyone else fades away, and they are the only people left in a red-hued room. It perfectly encapsulates what it feels like to want someone deeply. 

“Miss Erotica” by Peach PRC

With “Miss Erotica,” Peach PRC pays homage to all the LGBTQ+ sex workers. Set in a mythical club, it shows a guy giving her a dollar for a dance. She appears on stage as a unicorn, framed by various people that also work in the club. Power dynamics are at play here, because while the man thinks he’s the one in control, it’s truly Peach that holds the magic. She hypnotizes him and shows how powerful someone like her is. Through rainbow hues, glitter make-up, and fantastical costumes, Peach PRC creates a universe that is enthralling.

“Hell’s Belles” by Zolita

Zolita brings her storytelling skills to the forefront with “Hell’s Belles,” which tells a tale of a lesbian cult. In this scenario, ‘Hell’ is the leader of the cult while Zolita’s character, ‘Belle,’ is a detective looking to see what this place is truly about. This could be a criticism of people who think that if someone is gay, that is because of someone else’s influence. At the same time, she shows a huge part of lesbian culture which is that everyone knows and dates everyone. In any case, it’s fun to fantasize about being in all-lesbian environment. 

“Eastside Girls” by MUNA

MUNA is the gayest band to exist, dance on the wall if you disagree. “Eastside Girls” is a love letter to the queer community of Los Angeles. In the video, we see the band flexing their muscles and looking hot as they try to fix their car (a very lesbian activity) to join a party with their friends. With figures such as Hannah Einbinder and Kate Berlant, the video feels realistic in their portrayal of a friendship group bound by shared identities. They spend a lot of time in a photobooth as they capture different memories we can see at the end. The bridge of the single shows an insider knowledge of lesbian and sapphic culture. The video complements the lyrics in a simple yet effective way.
