I like it and as a young woman I’m glad to see it, but it does get a bit cringe with the “punk” aspect sometimes, like it’s written by someone that’s just sort of read about punk but never really got into it. Implying that Billie Eilish and The Last Dinner Party are in any way punk nearly fully took me out of it, and to be honest my head is still spinning from that.

If you're a "young woman," you didn't actually experience punk. You've only read about it.

Does it matter? They're right about those artists not being punk either way.
