When Alanis Morissette took direct aim at an ex who wronged her on the eviscerating “You Oughta Know” in 1995, everything about the Top 10 song communicated it wasn’t the usual narrative about love gone south. Or the typical wounded singer wallowing in self pity. Morissette, and both the lead single from and her entire American major-label debut – the profoundly personal Jagged Little Pill – represented a sea change. They kickstarted a movement, one whose impact continues to echo throughout the mainstream three decades later.
