  • Content creator Beth Crosby ('The Garbage Mom,' ~479,700 TikTok followers) made a fake Coachella-style poster for 'Perimenopause-a-Palooza' - 'a music festival for people in cougar puberty' - suggesting amenities including 'HRT on tap,' ice baths, and 'rage rooms for breaking [expletive].'
  • The original post amassed 43,000+ likes; the aspiring lineup included Alanis, Fiona Apple, Tori Amos, Queen Latifah, Tracy Bonham, Missy Elliott, Bikini Kill, Hole, and Rage Against the Machine.
  • Alanis Morissette commented on the poster: 'Calling promoters now.'
  • Nearly six months later, Crosby confirmed the festival was in active development with a producing partner, in real conversations with festival producers, promoters, potential talent, and brands; she also named Tracy Bonham, LeAnn Rimes, Salt-N-Pepa, and Lisa Loeb among artists who had commented publicly.
