Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on September 27, 1974)

Happy birthday, Carrie Brownstein! Whether you're shredding riffs with Sleater-Kinney or cracking us up on "Portlandia," you've mastered the art of making noise—both musically and comedically. Your guitar solos are legendary, your sketches unforgettable; honestly, we're still laughing about artisanal knots and feminist bookstores.

Here's to another year of rocking stages and screens alike. May your wit stay sharp, your chords stay loud, and may you never run out of quirky characters to portray—or hipster trends to lovingly mock. Keep inspiring us all by being effortlessly cool (and hilariously uncool) at the same time!
