Caroline Polachek is getting tired of people dubbing her “this generation’s Kate Bush”, which seems fair enough.I think we can all see how being compared to a music legend could initially seem like a nice thing, but soon become rather tedious. Plus, Polachek noted in a tweet on Friday night, surely Kate Bush is this generation’s Kate Bush? Especially since the good old ‘Stranger Things’ boost of 2022.“While I realise it’s a huge compliment”, she tweeted, “I’m endlessly fucking annoyed by being told I’m ‘this generation’s Kate Bush’.
