Creativity Quote by Siobhan Fahey

Rage, in Siobhan Fahey's framing, isn’t a vibe or a branding strategy; it’s a pressure system. The ellipsis matters: "There's a lot of rage..". lands like a swallow, a pause where polite society expects you to tidy up the feeling and move on. Instead she treats anger as raw fuel that has to go somewhere, and she refuses the comforting fiction that it can be neatly "managed" by willpower alone. Expression isn’t optional here, it’s harm reduction.

The blunt pivot to violence is doing more than shock work. It’s an insistence on consequence: if you deny an emotion a channel, it doesn’t disappear, it mutates. For a woman in pop - an industry that’s long demanded pleasing surfaces and punished "difficult" affect - that admission is also a quiet indictment. Female anger is often either pathologized or packaged as spectacle; Fahey proposes a third route: transmutation. Song becomes a controlled burn, a way to turn an impulse that could destroy into something that communicates, seduces, and maybe even unites an audience around a feeling they’ve been trained to disown.

Contextually, it echoes the era of post-punk and synth-pop where cool, stylized production often carried hot emotions underneath - desire, paranoia, resentment - delivered with a designer sheen. Fahey’s line punctures that sheen to reveal the engine. The intent is not confessional softness; it’s a statement of method. Art, for her, isn’t therapy talk. It’s containment, alchemy, and a refusal to pretend that civility is the same thing as peace.
