46. Who? I don't think she was popular - just liked by a small niche, maybe

I'm not certain I've actually heard of her. It sounds like a pretty generic punk name from the 80's, and I kinda-sorta think I've heard of her. Or maybe not.

It's kind of like someone who sees a beverage named CitriFizz in an article. It sounds like something in the sugary-drink genre that 7up, Sprite and Albertson's Citrus Sling occupy, so it's reasonable to think that you have heard of it.

Seriously - Citrus Sling. What does that even mean?

This is how I think of this weird homophobic singer. She's CitriFiz. Kinda sounds like a punk rocker you've heard of (zomg she has Shock in her name! Like electricity gone CRAZY!), but have you really?
