If you felt a seismic shift in the fabric of cool last night, it’s because the 2025 AltStar Awards, presented by Bad Dragon, just wrapped, and it was every bit as electric as we hoped. This wasn’t just an awards show; it was a vibrant, pulsing celebration of the creativity, diversity, and raw passion that defines the alternative scene. The energy in the room was pure magic, a testament to a community that thrives on breaking the mold.
A Party with a Heart
Guiding the festivities with wit and wicked charm were the incomparable hosts, MC Jeffrey Damnit and Trophy Goddess Malice McMunn, who kept the energy soaring all night long. Adding to the spectacle was an incredible intermission performance by headliner Angel Beau that left the crowd breathless. But beyond the stage, the real star was the atmosphere itself. As the organizers at AltPorn.Net put it:
“Such a wonderful fun night with such a warm glow of community!”
That “warm glow” was everywhere. The AltStar Awards has always been more than a ceremony; it’s a reunion. It’s the one time of year where artists, performers, and fans who exist on the cutting edge of the industry come together to celebrate each other. In a world of mainstream glitz, the AltStars remain a vital home for the independent spirit.
Captured by a God
How do you bottle lightning like that? You call in a legend. The night’s unforgettable moments were immortalized by none other than photographer Snake God. Known for his exhilarating and boundary-pushing style, Snake God was the perfect choice to capture the unique aesthetics of the attendees and the raw emotion of the winners. His lens doesn’t just take a picture; it tells the story of the person in front of it. You can (and should) follow his incredible work on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter).
