By Holly Day, There are definitely people out there that are selling that angry rock girl thing," laughs Caroline Gulde. "I'm not going to lie to people and say that that is me, and I'm not going to try to sell something that isn't true. I don't put myself in a box, because I'm not all angry. I'm not all happy.
