I need that aggressive attitude to play my music and more men have that attitude than women.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Music is a male-dominated field.
The aggressive side of me comes across in my music, but I'm just a sweet girl.
It's not my aim to be this, like, 'savior for females.' I just want to make good music.
The music industry's very laid back while I'm very, very aggressive.
To come to a concert and hear a lot of songs from a female perspective should not make men say, 'Oh well, that's for women'.
Most of my songs start out as being very aggressive and guitar-driven.
It's better for me to play with guys because Rock 'n' Roll has such an aggressive attitude.
There's still not as many women in music as men, and I don't really know why. I don't have the answers. I do wish there were more women that played music.
Men make angry music and it's called rock-and-roll; women include anger in their vocabulary and suddenly they're angry and militant.
I feel like a part of my role being a musician and part of why I want to be a musician is to show women an alternative to sort of the cultural norms, the stereotypes of what we're supposed to be, demure and quiet and motherly.
