This is essentially it.is it because they’re all dudes?
This is essentially it.
I never thought it was much of a problem, but then again I'm *list of privileged categories goes here*
can someone explain what was objectionable about the name girl band. not trying to be contrarian here, I genuinely want to know the substance of the complaint. is it because they’re all dudes?
huh
hmmm
Plenty of women have taken umbrage with the name over the years, the lads decide they wanted to change it so they did.
Really? Why?Plenty of women have taken umbrage with the name over the years
not cancelled but at least kinda on topic for the thread

The band clearly don't care and weren't making a big statement with their name, be damned if anyone is going to talk me into caring on their behalf.I'm a bit maybe oldmanning about it too.
I thought the THE POINT was that women who do music were getting lumped under some reductive girl band moniker and removing the ability of the press and public to do that by reassigning the term was the subversive act. Continuing as that and growing in success would remove that reductive from music talk over time, backing down allows it back into the lexicon.
I suppose BSP makes them sound like a tribute band to themselves.Along vaguely similar lines (this might have already been posted as it was a few months ago):
