Patriarchy is a provocative and enigmatic act that has carved a unique niche within the alternative music scene. At the helm is Actually Huizenga, a multi-disciplinary artist known for her compelling fusion of music, video art, and performance. Patriarchy's sound is an unsettling blend of goth, industrial, and synth-pop, marked by Huizenga's chilling vocals and dark, cinematic production. The project gleefully dances on the edge of the macabre and the ironic, often delving into themes of domination, the occult, and societal constructs, wrapped in a visually rich package of music videos and live performances that blur the lines between the grotesque and the beautiful.

Since their emergence, Patriarchy has quickly gained attention for their unapologetic approach to art and music. Their releases, such as "Suffer" and "Reverse Circumcision," showcase a penchant for exploring the darker recesses of human nature and societal norms through a combination of evocative lyrics, gritty electronics, and memorable hooks. Tracks like "Lock Jaw" and its Kris Baha Remixes, along with "Good Boy" and "Scapegoat," exemplify the project's ability to meld chilling narratives with danceable beats and haunting melodies. Patriarchy's work is a daring commentary on power dynamics, gender roles, and the human condition, making them a standout act in the contemporary underground music landscape.
