The two bands are very different; varying in music style, energy, and themes. While the bands are different, they share a very similar fan base and both hold the same messages; to love yourself and to ignore those who put you down.

They came up with X, the Go-Go’s and The Bangles. Regarding girl bands at that time, they were different than other acts. They had an autonomy that others didn't have. They weren't under the manipulative control of a male manager like the Runaways. They were in control of their performance which had a reputation for being wild, and wrote their songs. They released two records, had a major motion picture with a narrative revolving around their band, and toured nationally. They created music on their terms.
