Poly Styrene was one of the first in UK music. Gorgeous, but not conventionally. Chrissie Hynde too. Men have always been allowed to look like Dylan and Elton John. Punk changed things, but it's gone backwards, you are so right.

Beth Ditto from Gossip. Courtney Love was messy. Alanis was a tomboy. Janis Joplin...

Dare I say I had this line of thinking seeing how popular Maggie Lindemann has become in the alt space. Not trying to hate but her talent does not equate to the hype she’s getting😭

Courtney Love, Babes In Toyland, 7 Year Bitch, and L7 formed me. Men were frightened so they often hated on them.. it was almost comical, but also infuriating.

Unattractive to the male gaze mind you ( respectfully). All women are beautiful!

unfortunately bands are almost extinct now because people don't want to pay a whole group of people instead of one solo act. but yeah I miss grunge/punk, I miss creativity, I miss passion and sweat and authenticity

I don’t Wanna Say That is ugly because it’s not. It’s just a different way to express That is not a typical way, but call it ugly and conventionally attractive doesn’t sound correct.

So. Many. The talent that exists in the streets is phenomenal, and so many of these people will never be seen or heard. Through visual standards and the price of poverty, we will never see them.

Women, especially in hard rock, punk, metal, post punk, etc, should embrace ugly, because ugly is a huge facet of the genres and what they explore

Yes yes yes, I feel the plastic surgery culture is at play too. Being ugly feels so optional that I think the pressure to “fix” yourself is BIG especially in entertainment and it SUCKS I wanna see normal people being attractive is held as women’s only value and it just gets worse with time which is what I didn’t expect

even being conventionally attractive and talented isn't enough. I promise you there's someone making music just like what you love within 50 miles of you that you've never heard of. support local artists!

Who wasn't attractive? Because even the 90s Riot Grrls still had pretty faces, just messy makeup.
