Shonen Knife

The kick-ass all-girl j-rock band hailing from Osaka Japan. They formed in 1982.
They like to describe themselves as "super-eccentric-pop-punk-cult-band-shonen-knife!".

Shonen Knife

A Japanese punk lady trio, hailing from Osaka, Japan. They formed in 1981 and they play power-pop-punk rock music inspired by the Ramones, Beach Boys, 60s 'girl groups' (singing trios) and Japanese pop. Unlike most punk bands they generally write about more 'positive' topics, esp. food, good times and occasionally sci-fi. They don't push a sexual image but they do have a 'cutesy-wutsey' kawaii image, and they often draw in the cosplay crowd but make no mistake - those women are punk rockers, and they can kick out the jams - HARD. Some critics label this band under the category of 'cuddlecore'.
1. I've seen and met Shonen Knife five times. They always put on an exciting electrifying set. They're very fan friendly, after a show they'll talk with you, pose for selfies, sign anything.

2. Their audience is expanding beyond generations. The last 2 times I saw them they were playing full houses to audiences that had adults in their 40s and 50s.
3. Play a Shonen Knife CD in your car and it'll take you outta your doldrums in no time.
4. Shonen Knife is simply a FUN band to hear and see. What's wrong with just plain fun? When they come to your town to play, check them out.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Billy: "So I was trying to watch some videos for an M rated game, and I ran into an age gate, so I put in my real birthday. SOMEHOW it managed to figure out that I am 12. CURSE YOU AGE GATE!!!"

Bill: "Fucking age gate! *quick scroll* THERE! I was born on January 1, 1904. Fuck you age gate."
