\n

I mean, I *played with a lesbian identity as a way to fill a felt void in the absence of any material deprivation*, but that just makes it more 90s

Before Napster or the internet if you weren\u2019t hooked into, like, a scene, you pretty much heard things on the radio or MTV or read about them in SPIN or Rolling Stone, and maybe you\u2019d learn about Belle & Sebastian and the review would even mention Tullycraft but it\u2019s not like there was a link to click to them with a sample of their music or anything

But the 90s actually had a kind of pop \u201cwomen\u2019s music\u201d thing, (not to mention \u201clesbian chic\u201d) as the culture machine digested what remained of the second wave, you had Lilith Fair basically as a mass-market MichFest, your Ani DiFranco, your Indigo Girls and Jill Sobule and even less-industry stuff like L7 and Bikini Kill got airplay

Plus I mean Queen Latifah

Bonus: the genderbending video for Shania Twain\u2019s 1997 tribute to cis autogynephilia, Man! I Feel Like a Woman!
