Girl Group Gets Recording Contract for "Racist, Sexist Boy"

The Linda Lindas, a girl band ages 10 through 14, was 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!"). 

Now they have a recording contract.
