Hey grrrls! I'm looking for a riot grrrl song for the opening of a short film I wrote, produced, and directed. If you have any suggestions I am super interested! It's a horror film about a killer lipstick set on Valentine's Day. My OG song pick was Heart of Glass by Blondie so I'm looking for anything however similar/different it may be.
Hi all,
So idk the right terms, but I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction of more bands/songs that use different pitches or tone shift mid word?
For example, in Bikini Kill’s song “suck my left one” when she says it the second time she changes her pitch or whatever. I’m sorry this may not make sense 😭
made this zine based on the song “it’s okay to punch nazis” by cheap perfume! thought I’d share here, feel free to screenshot and print them out if you want to make your own copies
I recently read her autobiography and watched The Punk Singer. I always knew her name and that she was a big deal in the punk scene, but I didn't know how much of a badass activist she is. She's my Rebel Girl.
This is an older tune but lemme know if you like it! I’m working on a new EP right now where I’m kinda goin back to my Seattle roots and I’d love to connect with new friends who like the same stuff!
Hi!! I'm looking to get into this music genre from the political side, and I was wondering if you guys had any 'classics' or 'staples' I should listen to first? I want to find some that are more lyric-heavy / less repetitive, but any songs that y'all really like is just as valuable for me. Thanks!
I just saw a band called CR from Stanton Island on YouTube covering “Hate the Christian Right” didn’t really care for it, but thought it was cool! 😎
Hey all! For clarity, I am a man(don't know if that might be a problem to some, if it is, I understand), and am getting into metal. I have a unique problem with Metal: I'll be listening to a new band that sounds pretty good, and then I find out about Dimebag Darrell. Do you have any recommendations?
Asking because my friend Alix and I have been wanting to make a riot grrrl server for some time, and it seems like most of the servers I've seen are 18+. Any fellow minor riot grrrls out here? I'm hesitant because I tried to make a 13+ roleplay server for a video game I liked. The problem wasn't anyone being creepy or weird, it was the fact that the advertisement I made got no traction, so I couldn't enable Discovery. That's my issue; I'm unsure if anyone would wanna join.
I’ve always loved Glass Vase Cello Case — its raw, haunting energy and connection to the But I’m a Cheerleader soundtrack make it so special. Since the original isn’t on streaming, I decided to explore what it might sound like with a bolder, more electronic edge, inspired by artists like Thy Slaughter.
The result plays with layered textures and a futuristic feel, while still holding onto the heart of the song. It’s been a fun way to reimagine such a cult classic.
Would love to hear others’ thoughts on how the song resonates today.
I’m so bored with seeing stuff like this on the internet. I feel like people have been falsely organised into weird little hate groups by tiktok that they’re calling riot grrrl or punk or goth or whatever.
Riot grrrl is about organising with other grrrls and making music and zines and keeping each other safe. Yes it’s a place for conversation and meetings but if people want to make it work properly we’ve got to have other avenues of education that aren’t just tiktok and we’ve all definitely got to listen when someone tells us we’re wrong.
This person on tiktok says riot grrrl is punk music made by women and after I’ve corrected them and said not all punk music made by women is riot grrrl it devolved into a big argument ending in them saying that riot grrrl is just about AFAB people…
Guys it’s not about what’s in our pants it’s about what’s in our hearts. We’ve got to do better
my favourite band I've found so far that talks about feminism is cheap perfume. I've looked at the most known artists; Joan Jett and the Blackhearts bikini kill le tigre slutever mommy long legs hole jack off jill Kittie (idk if they're feminist) VIAL Siouxie and the banshees dazey and the scouts
I haven't found many songs like "it's okay to punch Nazis) by cheap perfume though. I really like the sound and raw vocals. I like fauxminism too.
any other bands I should check out?
