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

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.

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

>>74221787

Nico was a hack.

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

>>74222132
Because it looks cool, nerd.

>>74222132
It was a reaction against hippie ideals/fashions.

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

>>74221483
shopgirl that got lucky with punk, otherwise she'd still be at a till. dadrock edgelord with chants instead of songs.

>>74221483
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.

>>74221483
Here's five females from back then who had WAY more talent.

>>74222503
And?

>>74222657
Dang

>>74222503
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.

>>74222752
Tori Amos, although not as a kid.

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

>>74222600
So she wasn't faking it.

>>74222132
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_(boutique)

A large amount of early punk fashion was inspired by this

>>74222503
So what does that have to do with talent, or lack of?

>>74222752
>>74222832
And none of them have kids. Probably left sterile from it.

>>74222861
>>74222132
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).

>>74222503
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.

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