riot grrrl

riot grrrl is a movement of diverse grrrls and women who are dedicated to making women's and grrrls voices heard. we share art, music and ideas. we make zines, teach each other skills, create our own way of doing things. based in do-it-yourself and punk, riot grrrl is about empowering yourself to make your own decisions. define riot grrrl for yourself. what does it mean for you to be a tough kickass grrrl? what does it mean to you to play as hard as the boys?

some examples of riot grrrl are: courtney love, kathleen hanna, single mothers, dykes, sluts, badgirls, getting in the pit, grrrls who talk about rape, zinester grrrls

riot grrrl

Feminist punk-rock movement based on DIY zines and clothes. Started by 'Bikini Kill'. Also dominated by the 'kinderwhore' look originally vomitted by Kat Bjelland and Courtney Love when they were still in 'Sugar Babylon' (also with Jennifer Finch of later L7) All three then started their own bands which are probably the most famous grrrl band after Bikini Kill (Hole, Babes in Toyland and L7). Teen girls would go to concerts with words like "slut" or "rape" scrawled over their bodies on lipstick.

"If you treat a girl like a dog, she is going to piss on you"
A quote from Courtney Love, original Riot Grrrl.
Fuck you, Courtney haters.
Grow up and get over the Kurt thing.
