That's right, it's Pi$$ed off Woman Syndrome... 

I love this little genre, especially since it's pretty much how I wish the ex-wife feels about me.    My best hope for her is that she's eating out of a McDonald's dumpster somewhere...

It started in the sixties with the Supremes and 'You Keep Me Hanging On' and continued with Janis Joplin and 'Piece of my Heart' but then was kind of dry until 1977's Heart release 'Barracuda' 

Thing's were looking good for the 80's with Pat Benetar belting out solid efforts like 'Treat Me Right' and 'Hit Me With Your Best Shot', but as with all music, it was destroyed by the advent of MTV.  All real music soon dried up and the genre went underground for the remainder of the decade.

In the 90's, there was a brief but supernove like resurgence with Melissa Etheridge's eponymous debut, and subsequent 'Yes I Am', but the genre seems to have gone underground yet again...
