When accepting the 2019 BRIT award for Best British Group, The 1975's lead singer Matty Healy used his speech to call out misogyny in the music industry by quoting an article by music journalist Laura Snapes, who's deputy music editor at The Guardian.

"I want to read a couple of sentences that a friend of ours, Laura Snapes, said this week and I thought we should all think about it," Healy said before reading aloud from Snapes' op-ed on misogynistic behaviour in the music industry. Snapes' piece was written in the wake of a New York Times report alleging Ryan Adams "offered to jumpstart" the careers of female musicians and then "pursued them sexually."

"In music, male misogynist acts are examined for nuance and defended as traits of 'difficult artists,' Healy quoted, "while women are treated as hysterics who 'don't understand art.'"
