Just last week, the internet thrilled to The Linda Lindas, screaming and crunching power chords in the middle of the stacks of the Los Angeles Public Library. "Racist, Sexist Boy" — written and performed by four tween and teen punks calling out anti-Asian American bias and misogyny — immediately became something of a 2021 anthem. ("Poser! Blockhead! Riffraff! Jerk face!")

he quartet, whose members (Bela, Eloise, Lucia and Mila) range in age from 10 to 16, got its start in 2018 at Girlschool LA. Member station KQED says the band has been mentored by Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

The Linda Lindas' current Bandcamp bio describes the group as "Half Asian / half Latinx. Two sisters, a cousin, and their close friend. The Linda Lindas channel the spirit of original punk, power pop, and new wave through today's ears, eyes and minds."

Sounds fun

Edited to add: they are on the radio right now!

Song: Cludia Kishi

Linda is my mom's name and Claudia is her sister, my ant.

That's all

Love them.
Love that song.
Love the rage.
I have two nieces who are Chinese and one of them is a dead ringers for the lead singer, when she was her age.
Now she's a gay ExMo in management for Amazon, hiring executives.
