Girl Group

Consider the girl group. A divine feminine moment in pop culture: whether the riot grrrls of the ’90s, a sleek, honey-voiced R&B trio, or a glam and campy, dancing quintet. But through history, she—the collective, she—has been constructed by men, made a product of the music industry machine primed for algorithms and girlboss politics. Where is the girl group’s place on the pop pedestal in today’s world? What can happen when the girl group, is girl made?
