Indie rock by women

There's a sort of depressing lyric that sounds self-pitying and narcissistic when sung by a man but revolutionary and invigorating when sung by a woman.

I think men with guitars have said every thing that can possibly be said.  Women with guitars (and pianos, and drums, and synths, and nothing) are just getting started.

I think women have a range of emotional experience that typically makes them better people than men, and probably also makes them more natural singers and songwriters, especially in the pop/rock idiom.

Here are the women bands and singers I've gotten into this past half year:
Japanese Breakfast

Sharon Van Etten

Snail Mail

Elastica

Mitski

Jay Som

Soccer Mommy

Molly Burch

Solange

And here are the women bands and singers who I want to get into in the next half year:

boygenius (and all comprising members)

Hole

Anna Burch

HAIM (maybe)

more Sharon Van Etten

more Mitski

Joni Mitchell

When I listen to these singers (or think about listening to them) I am inspired to write.  I want to write something that has a hook that's as emotionally on-point as "Pristine" or "Lovers in the Parking Lot."  I want to make albums that are as fearless as "Be the Cowboy" and "Soft Sounds from Another Planet."

There's just one problem.  And it's that I'm an emotionally stunted, musically inept white man.
