During the 1975’s acceptance speech for British Group, frontman Matty Healy quoted from a 2015 piece by Guardian’s deputy music editor and Pitchfork contributor Laura Snapes. “She said that in music, ‘male misogynist acts are examined for nuance and defended as traits of ‘difficult’ artists while women and those who call them out are treated as hysterics who don’t understand art,‘” Healy read before exiting the stage.
