It’s not, unfortunately. I was positing, would it read as misogynistic (I can see why you read it that way) if instead it had been a punk artist who was also a woman? Because then at least it would be women paired up against women with a similar message.

But I also agree with the likes of Theodor Adorno in that capitalist modes of production have been influencing the art of music negatively for a hundred years or more. (As such, punk hasn’t been safe from such capitalist influence, for example)

In other words, I agree with the sentiment that capitalism is making music less dangerous and anodyne, but I also see how this meme is formatted in a way that can be read as misogynistic.

Edit: Or you could switch the bottom pics out for stuff like the bands The 1975 or Imagine Dragons. There’s definitely some real shitty all-dude bands.
