Remember when the record industry decided they weren't selling enough grunge albums to girls and decided to invent a bunch of fake alternachicks to tap into that market?
Yeah...

I don't care. Fiona Apple is a good enough of a songwriter to justify it.
Not to mention that she more or less turned down the opportunity to be a huge pop star. Regardless of whether or not she was marketed to a specific market she's still pretty cool.

Not 100% sure who those people are

I hate to say it but even back then as a kid I notice that trend too.

Fiona Apple is the shit and you're clearly incapable of judging anything if you're calling her an invented fake alternachick
Pieces of You [Atlantic, 1995]
Worth ignoring while she was merely precious, she demands our brief attention now that she's becoming overvalued as well. With the possible exception of Saint Joan, who at least had some stature, this is the bad folkie joke to end all bad folkie jokes. With her self-righteousness, her self-dramatization, her abiding love for her own voice, her breathy little-girl innocence and breathless baby-doll sexuality, her useless ideas about prejudice and injustice and let us not forget abuse, she may well prove as insufferable as any hollow-bodied guitarist ever to get away with craving the world's adoration. End of story--I hope. C-
WEEEMIIIINNDDDD YOOUUUUUU OF THE MEEESSSSS YOUUUUU WEEEEFFFFFT BEEEHHHIIIND

He's not kidding. I listened to the title track and could barely make it through the entire 4 or whatever minutes. That had to be one of the smarmiest songs I've ever heard.
Alanis needed a more expensive car than that shitty 70s Mercury in the Ironic video. After that album, she could afford an entire garage of Porsches.

Now really, if you met a chick like this, you sure as fuck would want to put as much distance between you and her as possible.
