The Girlie Nation's Polite Protest The Daisy Chain festival in Irvine, California, was an unapologetically frivolous celebration of womanhood, featuring an all female lineup that raised $20 million for women's rights organizations.
Organized by 23 year old pop star Olivia Rodrigo, the event drew parallels with the nostalgia tinged Lilith Fair of the late 1990s.
The festival reflected a fundamental shift in the musical landscape: the rise of the "girlie" aesthetic.
