Typical Girls: Women in Punk/Post-Punk/Underground Music (Circa 1975-1980s)

[Erin Burns <erinflemingburns AT gmail.com>]

Hello all!

First of all, I don't want to clog folks' email inboxes, so if you're interested in joining the conversation, just leave a comment at:

and we can continue over there for people interested in the topic!  Joly- good question.  I think Talk Normal makes kind of scary music.  If you look at bands like Tribe 8, having dudes in the audience suck on one of their strap-ons was probably scary (in a theatrical/performance sense) at the time?  I still think it's a different standard and different (better?) type of "scary" for women though.

Begs the question - which contemporary female musicians are genuinely "SCARY".

But I wonder if that's a valid criterion for creativity, period. Scariness was a barrier to overturn at the time, and it was, and well trampled into the ground. Perhaps there are new challenges?

Please check out my blog post for today on women in No Wave and punk in general, and join the conversation in the comments.  My "theory" about women in aggressive music could quite possibly be totally flawed!  (Also, please kill me for accidentally leaving out awesome all-female No Wave band Y Pants.)
