Violet Harmon's Taste in Music: Overview & Analysis
Including music Vi mentions, music that was in the original script, songs she listens to, and my Violet-inspired playlist.
Music in the original script:
In Pilot, the script originally intended for one of The Smiths songs to play during the scene where Tate and Violet show each other their scars.
Instead, Violet just mentions Morrissey, and the song Special Death by Mirah plays for a second time in the episode!
During this same sequence, instead of asking Tate if he wants to listen to Morrissey, Violet mentions a band named Craven. I think this is a made-up band name since I couldn't find any info about it! Here's an excerpt from the script:
The original script for Pilot is linked here if you're interested!
Music Violet mentioned in AHS:
In Pilot, Violet asks Tate, "Do you wanna listen to Morrissey? He's cool, and pissy, and he hates everyone and everything."
Violet wore a band tee that has The Kinks Word of Mouth album at on it (in Halloween Part: 1).
Vi mentions another punk band in Afterbirth. While looking through Gabe's CD collection, she asks him, "Don't you have any Ramones? Like Animal Boy or Too Tough to Die?"
She also tells Gabe that he has "horrible taste in music" because he owns a Butthole Surfers CD.
Songs Vi listened to throughout the show:
These are all songs that either play in scenes Violet is in or songs she directly listens to!
