Shonen Knife—an all-female punk trio from Osaka,
Japan—cultivated a global fan base that has included the likes of
Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain and Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore. Their
1998 album Happy Hour, filled with tunes about delicacies ranging
from sushi to banana chips, encapsulates the band’s charming
fusion of cuteness with punk rock cool. Tracing histories of food
and josei rock in Japan, McCorkle Okazaki outlines the ways Shonen
Knife has, over the last forty years, consistently used seemingly
straightforward songs about food to comment on gender stereotypes
in popular culture.
