How can a girl make it in the alternative music scene?

[?]

My guess as to why there's not that many girls making that kind of music is that bands, even those with female singers, are mostly male. So you have to be able to hang out with guys without getting crushes or whatever, since that could lead to tension in the band. I think the reason those 2 guys left Paramore is one of them dated Haley and the break up wasn't good. And the other guy is the guy's brother, so he had to leave too. So you have to find guys who you know won't try to get in your pants and you know you won't get crushes on to be in your band, or get a bunch of girls to be in your band.

Also, screamo requires screaming and not a lot of girls want to do that. You have to be a pretty badass chick who wants to see people beat this crap out of each other while she screams at them.

I personally don't like Paramore much, but here's some other bands with female singers you might like:
