wheres the bland crap option?

 

[nageov3t]

among those, I'd go with Alternative.

but pop folk is the most acurate genre (along with most other mainstream female singer-songwriters)

modern power pop bands include Weezer, Cheap Trick, Fountains of Wayne, and Franz Ferdinand.

for the most part, I'd consider it a sub-genre of Alternative.

Angry Chick pop.

 

[Rage187]

suck

 

[BurnItDwn]

Stupid question, but isn't alternative a subset of rock? ... cause I've always heard it be called alternative rock. I also hear people calling it British Pop ...

So, arent all three of your answers really the same?

First album was definitely angry hard rock, with a touch of grunge.

Since then she's been squarely in the realm of 'very bad music'.

i would call her lilith fair pop, which pretty much implies the wimpy guitars, pop melodies, and feminist lyrics.
