Über Jahrzehnte sind junge Frauen in der Musikindustrie benutzt und diskriminiert worden: Egal ob Fans, Groupies, Journalistinnen, Mitarbeiterinnen oder Sängerinnen selbst - der Mythos von Sex, Drugs und Rock’n Roll, das viele Geld und das extreme Machtgefälle haben sexualisierter Gewalt über alle Genres hinweg den Boden bereitet.
