Bestie, ListenThere is pop, there is rock, and then there are the pop rock girls. The side bangs, the power chords, and the inexplicable urge to wear a necktie over a tank top. From Avril Lavigne and Fefe Dobson to Ashlee Simpson and Michelle Branch, this episode unpacks the women who made rebellion radio-friendly and angst commercially viable. We trace their impact on music, culture, and identity, and explore how artists like Olivia Rodrigo are keeping the lineage alive.
