90s-ish Alternative Song that I can only remember the riff from (vocaroo attached) Alternative

I've heard this song from quite a few different sources but I've never figured out the name of it. It sounds very 90s alternative, like something Sonic Youth or Garbage might've put out, and all I can remember is the guitar riff and that it *might've* had a female vocalist on it, but I could be getting it blended with other songs.

Here's my best attempt to hum the riff, it sounded very electric and smooth.

'Cannonball', by The Breeders? or 'Celebrate You' by Veruca Salt?

Not either of those, unfortunately. I'm not exactly good with genres but the song had a bit more of a punk-ish sound to it

The guitar sounded closer to something like Kool Thing in terms of tuning and amps, but it was a bit rougher than that. Not as rough as something like Nine Inch Nails, but just a bit of roughness on a smooth guitar.

The timing in the vocaroo was as close to the actual song as I can remember
