I've become this voice for a millennial generation of feminism, which is awesome, but at the same time it's complicated. We all know I'm a girl, I'm a woman, but it's difficult to figure out how to talk about it and express how important it is without beating it with a hammer and having it be, "So you're a girl in music! So you're a girl in music!" Yes, I'm a girl in music - can we just talk about something else?
Bethany CosentinoI've always been interested in fashion, and Urban Outfitters presented me with a huge opportunity to pursue that interest.
Bethany CosentinoMaking music can sometimes make me a bit restless, so it's fun when I get to be expressive in another way.
Bethany CosentinoI am a true believer that a record should not be a bunch of songs that sound exactly the same.
Bethany CosentinoStevie Nicks has always been my fashion icon, so I wanted to blend her infamous witchy style with the 90s valley girl theme that I was so entranced by as a young girl.
Bethany CosentinoI'm really proud to be a woman making music. Nothing makes me happier than when other women approach me at shows and say, "You've inspired me to start writing music," or, "I feel like we could be best friends." Music is a male-dominated business, so it's nice to see bands with girls in them, and not just a bunch of dudes with beards in flannel shirts.
