What Is Riot Grrrl?
Riot Grrrl is an underground feminist punk rock movement that started in the early 1990's. The movement is often associated with third-wave feminism. Zines and DIY are a big part of the riot grrrl movement. Riot grrrl is also a genre of music.

Hi there, I used to write the Los Angeles-based Riot Grrrl zine Sweetheart, in 1993-97, in my junior high and high School years. I put some old issue highlights plus excerpts from other zines of mine on Instagram if you wanna take a look ๐ป:

Why isn't sorry mom more talked about? I think their first (and so far only) album is an absolute banger! I love every single song, and they go hard especially live! I know they "sold out" to a bigger label, but I really hope they don't sell out their sound. The raspy screams bring out a lot of emotion, and are so good to dance to
hi! i'm a 20 y/o trans woman in south texas. i was recently introduced to and really love punk/riot grrrl music. i was wondering if anyone here knows any places in south texas i could hang out at to meet like-minded people :)

I hope this message finds you well! Iโm reaching out on behalf of a collective that are trying to semi regularly put on gigs called Queers Run Amok, dedicated to creating safe and inclusive spaces within the Portland music scene. We're currently organizing a gig and are looking for queer bands to perform.
Okay I know this isn't that deep but I can't find them on Spotify anymore and Im just kind of upset :c
I never heard the term zines before learning about the movement and I would like to know how zines work, what they are in practice, how to make them and their purpose.
whatโs the band called of teenage girls that lied to kathleen hanna and said that they were in a band, so when she said they could open for bikini kill they had to figure it out?
edit: nevermind i found them, called skinned teen
my band, Cat Crash is going on tour throughout the midwest for the first time. we're joined by a roster of queer and other riot grrrl bands, so come on out to this show and meet like-minded people and rock out to punk music!
