The Linda Lindas formed in 2018, and started out as a cover band, playing music from bands such as Le Tigre and the Go-Go's, whose "Tonite" they later released a cover of.[8][5] The band released their debut single, "Claudia Kishi", independently in 2020,[9] followed by the EP The Linda Lindas.[10] In 2021, the band went viral with a performance of "Racist, Sexist Boy" and subsequently signed with the Los Angeles-based label Epitaph Records.[11] They released another EP, Moxie (Music from the Netflix Film),[12] which contains covers of Bikini Kill's "Rebel Girl" and the Muffs' "Big Mouth" that appeared in the Netflix film Moxie.[13] The Linda Lindas released their debut album, entitled Growing Up, in 2022. Four singles were released from the album: "Oh!", "Nino", "Growing Up", and "Talking to Myself". On the deluxe edition of the album, the band covered the Blue Hearts' song "Linda Linda",[14][15] for which the band was named.[13]Growing Up is centered on themes of growing up, discovering oneself,[16] and anxieties that arise in adolescence.[17] The album's genre has been classified as punk rock, pop-punk,[17] and power pop.[18] From the album, "Cuántas Veces" has been noted for its bossa nova influences[7] and "Racist, Sexist Boy" has often been compared to the riot grrrl sound.[a]
