You could have fooled me

What does that have to do with her music?

Get the fuck out

carol king. but in all honestly i love siouxsie

oh, I bet they do all the time. And you like it you fucking cocksucker

taylor swift

*farts*

Writing lyrics and singing doesn't make you a musician.

Could you repeat that? I couldn't hear you over Siouxsie's guitar.

what does it make you then? A plummer? An accountant?

The Scream [Polydor, 1978]

Hippies were rainbow extremists; punks are romantics of black-and-white. Hippies forced warmth; punks cultivate cool. Hippies kidded themselves about free love; punks pretend that s&m is our condition. As symbols of protest, swastikas are no less fatuous than flowers. So it's not surprising that Siouxsie Sioux, punks' exemplary fan-turned-artist, should prove every bit as pretentious as model-turned-rocker Grace Slick or film-student manqué Jim Morrison. Nor is it surprising that while the spirit is still upon her she should come up with a tunefully atonal, modestly sensationalistic album. B+

Once Upon a Time/The Singles [PVC, 1981]

Like Jim Morrison, greatest of the pop posers, Siouxsie Pseud disguises the banality of her exoticism with psychedelic gimmicks most profitably consumed at their hookiest, and voila. Although two of the four unavailable-on-album 45s on this compilation go nowhere, most of these nightmare vignettes are diverting placebos, of a piece even though they span three years of putative artistic development. B+

Twice Upon a Time--The Singles [Geffen, 1992] *bomb*

Subjects for Further Research [1980s]: She has her cult--an army of black-clad college students eagerly waiting for the world to end. But though many Johnny Rotten fans proved smarter than Johnny Rotten, Siouxsie Pseud wasn't one of them. Since like Jim Morrison she disguises the banality of her exoticism with psychedelic gimmicks best consumed at their hookiest, the nightmare vignettes on her 1981 best-of were of a piece even though they spanned three years of putative artistic development. After that I kept waiting for Siouxsie to end. But she left a lot of product in her wake, and for all I know it conceals another best-of.

Industry plant and holy god are their songs dated.

Nico

Holy shit. Siouxsie didn't give a fuck. These lyrics would be totally unacceptable today.

Nico was a hack.

yeah, but so is Susan Ballion.

Don't forget Taylor Swift?

No, that omission was intentional.

Where's Grimes?

In the trash, where she belongs.

Fixed.

robert smith isn't female, OP

Why was bondage gear so popular back then? Seems like everyone in the biz wore it.

Because it looks cool, nerd.

It was a reaction against hippie ideals/fashions.

Yo

Here's one of her contemporaries who for sure was more talented.

shopgirl that got lucky with punk, otherwise she'd still be at a till. dadrock edgelord with chants instead of songs.

All female Dutch HC trio.

The only song of theirs that charted here was X-Ray Specs which is pretty shitty anyway (well, I could like it if it weren't for the accordion).

This is getting a bit too easy now.

You know she was raped as a kid.

Here's five females from back then who had WAY more talent.

And?

Dang

Why so many female musicians were raped as a kid? I mean I knew that Fiona Apple and Emilie Autumn were and now i find out that Siouxsie too. People are just fucked up.

Tori Amos, although not as a kid.

Fiona Apple to her credit has explicitly avoided writing songs about her sexual assault.

So she wasn't faking it.

A large amount of early punk fashion was inspired by this

So what does that have to do with talent, or lack of?

And none of them have kids. Probably left sterile from it.

My take is that it had to do with the generational shift from baby boomers to Gen Xers who had become the main music buying audience as the 80s started. Unlike boomer flower power idealism, Gen Xers were into this self-hating masochism (even if the early punks were all boomers).

...

Grimes inferred being raped without actually saying it. She got famous for it too.

Claire Boucher
Kim Gordon
Carrie Brownstein (and the rest of Sleater-Kinney)
That lady from Balam Acab

Some women can sing. Other than that they're untalented.

Chicks love making up rape stories

Who's claire boucher?

You want some links?

>Marina
Marina is a talentless hack and a disgusting old hag. Literally every female artist is better than that disgusting old hag.

>Carrie Brownstein (and the rest of Sleater-Kinney)

Oh god why

Sleater-Kinney kicks your fucking ass.
