The film's influence has also extended into the music world. American music artist Zola Jesus listed the film as a major inspiration for her 2017 music album "Okovi", revealing in an interview with "ARTNews" that during development of the album, she would play the film on loop in order to help with "Okovi"s audio and visual aesthetic. For their experimental musical composition "Frankenstein Bemshi!" at the 2018 Rochester Fringe Festival, performers Dave Esposito and G. E. Schwartz mixed portions of "Begotten" with the 1910 film "Frankenstein", accompanied by live guitar music, electronic soundscapes, spoken narration, and with poetry added as text to the movie's image. Lead singer Dimitri Giannopoulos, from the American rock band Horse Jumper Of Love, revealed that the single "Airport", from their 2019 album "So Divine", was partially inspired by "Begotten". Heavy metal magazine "Decibel" compared the music video for the Texas gothic rock band Sword Collector's single "Inherit the Scepter" to "Begotten" and Ari Aster's 2019 folk horror film "Midsommar".
