Help me create a bad bitch playlist for a teen girl going though a bad time

[LovelyYellowLabrador]

Some songs that you know lift you up, when bastards are trying to grind you down
Inspire you to kick some arse

So far I’ve started with dark horse

I love Alex Clare but most of his is a bit intense!

This is Me

Keala Settle and The Greatest Showman Ensemble

Dancing On My Own - Robyn

@HemanOrSheRa

Yes by McAlomont and Butler as loud as you dare.

I love this song!

Mean by Taylor Swift “one day I’ll be living in great big city and all you’re ever gonna be is mean”

Republica - Ready to Go
Lush - Ladykillers

The latter is an awesome, men are all wankers song and really invites a singalong.

Good time to introduce Riot Grrl music I think If Bikini Kill and L7 would be a bit too much, my vote is for Cherry Bomb by Joan Jett & the Runaways.

Lily Allen - Fuck you!

Bad Reputation - Joan Jett
Used in just about every film that needs a montage sequence of a rebellious teenage girl!

Roar - Katy Perry
Shake it off - Taylor Swift
Superstar - Love Inc

When you have done this playlist can you put it on Spotify and tell us where to find it?!

I have just the thing

playlist

I hope it works! I shall be adding some of these suggestions to mine…

Sia - unstoppable

Anastasia, left outside alone

"Fighter" - by Christina Aguilera
"Weak as I am" - skunk ananse (not sure if spelt that right).
"What's going on" - 4 non blondes.

It’s all a bit 80’s but I swear, no young girl could listen to this list & not feel like completely kick ass about herself!

Ain’t Nobody - Chaka Khan
Flashdance, Whatta Feeling - Irene Cara
Fury - Prince
It’s My Life - Talk Talk (or the Gwen Stefani version as that’s about as modern as I get!)
Running Up That Hill - Kate Bush
Love Is a Battlefield - Pat Benetar
Buffalo Stance - Neneh Cherry
Rapture - Blondie

& if it has to be within this century then -
Lights by Ellie Goulding - some of my most feel good song ever….

Cheers - Rihanna
It even had the lyric "Don't let the bastards get you down" in it!

XenoBitch

"HemanOrSheRa

Yes by McAlomont and Butler as loud as you dare."

Oh gods, YES

Yep. It's still amazing after all these years.

Seether- Verucca Salt
Pretend we're dead - L7
Heads will roll - Yeah yeah yeahs

Garbage Stupid Girl
Skunk Anansie Weak
Tori Amos Cornflake Girl
Alanis Morissette Outta Know

You can't go far wrong with Patti Smith or anything by the Slits or X-ray Specs.

Meant "dirrty" by christina. She was dressed like a fighter/wrestler in the video.

Love the Ooh Stick You suggestion upthread!

Isn’t You Ought to Know a bit, er, raunchy for a teenage girl? The bit about the theatre?

You need What You Waiting for by Gwen Stefani.

All Saints Black Coffee
TLC No Scrubs
Florence and the Machine Dog Days are Over
Goldfrapp Ooh La La La
Scissor Sisters Laura
Pendulum I'm not Alone
Estelle American Boy
Kells Milkshake
Professor Green and Lily Allen just be good to me
Sugarbabes overload
Groove Armada Song 4 Mutya

Jimmy Eat World - The Middle

Chorus: “ It just takes some time
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything'll be just fine
Everything, everything'll be alright, alright”

I hope your daughter is ok
