Twisted Sister to Re-Launch as “Twisted Cisgender Female Sibling”
The change comes amid shifting attitudes to the binary (and antiquated), notion that genitals are the defining characteristic of gender.
“Creating granularity around the heteronormative person for whom our band is named is a good thing,” said celebrated TCFS frontman Dee Snider, he no stranger to androgynous mystique. “Gender expansiveness is an idea whose time has come.”
The announcement has set in motion a deluge of bands seeking to “make woke” their former names.
The Backstreet Boys are now the “Near-Poverty Peeps” rightly acknowledging cis-males don’t have a monopoly on working class oppression and/or mobility. Fatboy Slim is now “Rotund Ectomorph” — a not so subtle hat tip that the nagging anxiety from being “skinny fat” knows no gender.
Political correctness isn’t the only impetus for a name change for well-known nineties indie darling, Weezer. “Think of it as branching out rather than selling out,” said lead singer Rivers Cuomo. “We’re currently doing a cost benefit analysis to relaunch as “Geezer” to appeal to the lucrative Pro-Brexit crowd.”
More to come.
