A grassroots third wave feminist movement deeply connected to the punk rock scene in the early and mid 1990’s. Mostly youth oriented, riot grrrl was neither an organization or a specific thought, but instead thrived on non hierarchal “chapters” set up across America and parts of Europe connecting mostly young women with music, a thriving zine scene , and direct political action.
there is no one specific example of riot grrrl, in fact the best example is contrasting different people who associated themselves with the movement.

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
