This is the latest single and video from the Belfast queerpunk band. It also features additional vocals from Pissed Jeans frontperson Matt Korvette. The lyrics are a satirical look at the ageism and sexism prevalent in society. The band made the following statement: “Sad Old Woman is about accepting the inevitable. The older women get, the more they’re forced to maintain a certain image and decorum, lest they become grotesque or even worse, invisible. There is a checklist of life goals ingrained in our society that we feel pressured to complete by a certain age; many that seemed obvious in previous decades seem less attainable for the majority now. To critique these standards can often invite remarks of bitterness. Aging is a gift, and we should embrace it while we can.”
