Omnesia isn't just putting out a new song with "Heroes + Legends." They're starting a movement. The music video is the fourth single from their upcoming album, "OMNESIA: Future Vintage," and it's a powerful, emotional dance anthem that serves as a way to protest and provides visibility.
The video does a great job of combining happy music with critical historical events. There are old videos of key events in gay culture, such as famous riots and pride marches. Omnesia uses these pictures to show that people have always fought back by being visible, not just for fun.
"Heroes + Legends" makes it clear what it's about: a celebration of everyone, regardless of gender identity, and a proud anthem for the LGBTQIA+ community. It talks directly about the unfair treatment this group gets in the US, with the bold line, "Do you find me queer?" Like a crime? This line asks people to face their biases and invites them to join the dance. "Heroes + Legends" comes at a significant time, in response to the Trump administration's and others' harmful words and actions that put the gay community in danger. The song talks about how fear and ignorance try to keep us from focusing on more important things. Omnesia presents this song as a form of musical resistance in a time of violence and attacks on personal rights, refusing to be silenced or erased.
The message is clear: the band fights against old ideas and the problems that queer and trans people still face in our society. But the tone is not one of despair, it is full of hope, celebration, and life. Omnesia pays tribute to those who fought for today's freedoms and stands firm in the present, choosing to be brave instead of quiet.
