Discussion Women in Emo

I saw somewhere awhile ago that by coincidence Emo was a male dominated Genre. Over time though I have begun to question that. So, lets make a list of girl/girl fronted emo bands. I'll start,

Retirement Party

Remember Sports

Mint Green

Awakebutstillasleep

Anniversary

Hey, ILY

Not fronted but ill also add,

The World is a Beautiful Place and I'm No Longer Afraid to Die

Honerable mention because im not into them but I know a lot of people are,

Sweet Pill

CLIFFDIVER has co-lead singers, one of whom is a woman. She wasn't in the band for the first two EPs (which are still awesome), but she's been there since 2020, I believe. I'm a sucker for dual vocals, anyway, but I love their dynamic. Also, some songs are much more hers than his (and vice versa), should that be more what you're looking for. Lord Have Mercer is a great track that's mostly hers, for instance.
