Music Monday: Alanis Edition

Wow, the 90s really are back. Finally, it’s time for Gen X culture to SHINE. Though, honestly we’d rather just be wearing flannels and writing in our journals. Anyway, Alanis Morissette is Gen X music royalty. But while the Gen X fellas of grunge get remembered, so many talented female artists of the time seem to live on only in the fanzines of our hearts (I mean, not really, they’re still out there being creative and amazing — but not getting the same kind of nostalgic attention as others). Your Alanises. Your Liz Phairs. Your PJ Harveys. Your Lauryn Hills. Your Tori Amoses. Your Fiona Apples. So it’s lovely to see this orchestral performance of “You Oughta Know” (which, I know, is a promotion for “Bridgerton,” I know). Still, as a 90s kid it’s a trip to see this at-the-time scandalous (she said she went down on someone in a theater!!) song performed in such a rarified way. More 90s women rockers getting to show off Gen X’s talents, please. Happy Monday, kittens.
