Okay, the suggestion that I'm trying to make is that Sleeper and Elastica are post-riot grrrl versions of The Primitives and The Darling Buds, whereby the pop songs of the latter are laced with the feminist attitudes of Huggy Bear and Bikini Kill. The Blondie reference is a red herring inserted into the equation because it's illegal to create such equations without any reference to their overall influence on post-1981 girl-fronted pop groups.
Alright?
