Shirley Manson, Frontwoman dei Garbage, recently expressed her disappointment for a newspaper title believed to be offensive.
On April 13 Manson shared a screenshot of an article in the Daily Mail on Instagram in which it was stated that the rock band seemed “unrecognizable” in the promotional photos of the new album.
In a shared post on Instagram, Manson stressed that these observations are often used to diminish and control women in the world of entertainment: «A nice title of yesterday's Daily Mail. What should this mean?!? ». «Look, I am almost sixty years old. Of course I won't look like at all when I was almost thirty, “he continued. «Honestly, I think it would be a little disturbing if I did it, but hey, I'm done so. In any case, this type of language is a weapon to put a woman like me in his place ».
During his career, Manson has repeatedly denounced the sexism and misogyny present in the music industry. In an interview, he said: “If I had the cock I would be treated differently”, highlighting how the sector is dominated by men and how women are often relegated to the background. He also criticized the obsession with his youth and physical appearance, stating that beauty does not comply with commercial standards is often ignored or destroyed.
«I will continue to age as I am. I will continue to have wrinkles and to have problems – I will lose a centimeter in height here and I will earn another or two there – but I will still be pretty in pajamas, with the hair speechless and without makeup, and I will always be – it does not matter how it appears – it doesn't matter what they say about me – I will always be – and forever – stronger than most of the other people “.
His post:
The band's new album, Let All That We Imagine Be The Lightwill be released on May 30th. This is the first single, There's no future in optimism:
