About this listen

In 1999 four Canadian teens dropped Spit, a raw and aggressive debut that carved space for women in a genre dominated by male rage.

Kittie didn’t just make noise, they made space. These teen girls were angry, emotional and proudly feminine, their sound still resonates across generations. Over 20 years later, they’re trending again, resurfacing on TikTok through edits, outfit recreations and relatable lyric quotes.

In this episode, Marc Lajeunesse and Safa Hachi explore how kittie fought back against misogyny with guttural vocals, eyeliner, and fierce vulnerability. From shaping alternative fashion to opening the doors for women in metal, we dive into the cultural legacy of a band that dared to scream back.
