maybe i'm just an idiot, but i think putting a band in a whole different genre just because their singer is female is dumb.
oh look it's
Veruca Salt, theyre not a rock band, theyre a CLITrock band because the singers are women.
check out
Hole, they aren't a grunge band, theyre a RIOT GRRL band because their singer is a woman.
so so so dumb.
veruca salt is a pop-rock band, hole is a grunge band,
L7 is a grunge band,
PJ Harvey is a rock musician, they aren't part of a different genre just because their singers are women.
does a band become a "man rock"/"cock rock" band just because they have a male singer? no, theyre just a "rock" band. its gay. pj harvey is a much fucking better rock musician than a lot of other male musicians, yet her status is downgraded by her being labelled "CLITROCK". pathetic. i hate people.
