Essay: What I love about the Linda Lindas

Medium writer Patsy Fergusson explaines why she liked Linda Lindas' 'Racist, Sexist Boy': "I’m not a fan of punk music. Screaming annoys me. But I loved the song... because it broke so many tired stereotypes.

• I loved that the girls felt safe making that horrible sound
• I loved that their local librarians supported them in doing it
• I loved that they’re so young: 10, 13, 14, and 16
• I loved that the singer screaming the rageful lyrics is Asian, exploding the submissive Asian female stereotype
• And I loved the message in the lyrics: racism and sexism are bad!".
