After her conversation with Breq at the party on Friday, Tip was looking up different Earth music styles during her shift today. She was pleased to learn that rock and roll was actually founded by a black woman, but got stuck for awhile looking up her boss's favorite music style, punk.

"Buncha white boys," she noted, flipping through and looking at pictures of unkempt musicians. She called up a couple songs on her phone for reference. "What did they even have to rebel against? Music theory?"

She found herself bopping along a little as the playlist went on. Alright. It was a little catchy.

She liked the songs from screamy girl bands especially.

"I might need a book on this," Breq said. "If you have one."

"I bet we do," Tip said, turning to the computer to look it up. "It'll probably only really cover western music, that's what I know about. Not, like, country-western, but music from the western hemisphere. There's some crossover with, like, k-pop and stuff, but the rules probably aren't totally the same."
