Introduced in Homestuck, the [S] command prefix indicates when a page has sound. While not conventional for a webcomic, this nonetheless means that epic moments are accompanied by equally epic music. Homestuck uses music for a variety of purposes: Haunting Solos, Background MusicSburb Logo, and Casual ListeningSburb Logo.

Andrew Hussie has set up a Sound Credits PageMspa icon. The songs can also be downloaded at the Homestuck Bandcamp Page.

Removed SongsEdit

Versions of the flash videos with their original music can be downloaded for free here.

TriviaEdit

  • Despite this awe-inspiring list of sick beats, several of which are lyrical, no named character has ever been voiced in-comic in any way. The closest example is in [S] Descend, where the tracks "Squiddles Theme" and "Friendship Aneurysm" interrupt the song. The Squiddle from "Friendship Aneurysm" is named in the track itself, but this section does not play in the comic.
    • After the release of coloUrs and mayhem: Universe A, which had a number of lyrical tracks, Radiation released a few responses in regards to the voices in the music. He declared that there were no canon voices, Squiddles and Plumbthroat excluded, "But that doesn't mean you can’t enjoy some lovely vocal interpretations!!!", which is the best advice of all.
    • Lord English releasing the Vast Honk can be considered canon, although it's questionable whether this counts as a voice.
  • Mark Hadley, the composer of Harlequin and Sburban Countdown previously provided official music for defunct sprite comic Kid Radd - Homestuck's multimedia predecessor. Hadley remixed two of his fan tunes (Bogey's Theme and Radd's Theme) to create the music that accompanied the comic's end sequence.
