The kind of behaviour and attitude they project is not great but kinda understandable from a 16 year old, incredibly immature for a 26 year old.

Perhaps....and just maybe...the “anti-sjw types” are talking specifically about ppl like this group and those their music appeals to? Perhaps the base concept of feminism (equality of the sexes) is upheld by 99.99% of ppl, but when the loudest voices in the SJW community sound like these girls and their songs it sort of paints a picture. Just a thought.

I love punk, emo, and any subgenres or mixups that occur, from midwest to rap. I don't really care about the whole argument if they are a plant or not, it doesn't really matter to me, and I do wish them well, but when I listen to songs that take elements from emo or punk, that tends to be enough for me and I can have a good time even if it's not all that deep. Their music was insufferable. I know female punk/emo outfits that don't have a lot of coverage, and it sucks that when things do break into the mainstream it's this. If you want a fun time, a more popular indie band that borrows from punk stylings would be Beach Bunny and then if you just want an actual unknown but angsty female punk artist, check out Pity Party (grindmother)
