This playlist does just that, encapsulating all that it means to celebrate Pride.
Being a fan of singer-songwriter Phoebe Bridgers is not just a pastime, but a lifestyle. The Bridgers-brand sad girl aesthetic runs deeper than her chosen brand of folksy-indie.

The crowds flocking to her sold out concert at The Anthem on June 11 was a clear reflection of that.
