March Madness means different things to different people. For some, it means watching an inordinate amount of college basketball in a very short amount of time. (GO ZAGS.) For others, it means flying to Austin, Texas, watching somewhere between 60-80 bands play in four days, and then sifting through the dozens and dozens of discoveries for new favorites. For me, it means both. But only one of those meanings is easily fit into a mixtape, so here is our final roundup of the best feminist music from SXSW 2017.
