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.

hello ! I have seen this documentary called "she's real (worse than queer)" from 1997 on youtube (here it is if you want it : https://youtu.be/-SHYR2hOwik?si=PBxlAXJTMElqYPL0 ) but it is impossible to find some of the bands in it apart from Tribe 8 and Team Dresch ; I know i stumbled onto Cypher in the Snow when I did my reseacrh but I think they are not even mentionned in the documentary and as most of them were switching bands frequently it is complicated to know who was who and from which bands....
Do you know know were I could find information on these bands (music really but also activism etc) or generally speaking on multiethnic queer bands from this period ?
Hiii, I love riot grrrll and everything behind it and the evolution of how it’s changed along the lines and the fucking amazing music
I’m a girlie from the Bronx/Nyc who would like to meet other riot grrrls , would love to start a mini community/group :) <33333
Sick ass experience last night!!!!!
the title says it all.
Riot Goth: This footage was originally used for the performance of my former bandmate Cat Scratch’s song The Money is Mine. I got her permission to use them for The Blame because I thought they fit the theme of the song perfectly as it is about letting go of a relationship with an ex girlfriend that involved a lot of fighting. I find this song to be very much riot goth. 😝
I hope it's okay to post this here. I hope it belongs. This is a recently remastered video of a 1993 Seattle show.
"I just tell myself girl, just let it breathe. It′s a calmness, I′m always searching for. But the dirt it gets so heavy, it falls above my head. Seeping from under my feet, it just keeps on getting deeper."

Hi guys!! I have to write an essay for my rhetoric class about something personal to us and I decided to do the Riot Grrrl movement. For the essay I need to conduct some interviews but I don't actually know anyone who listens to the music or participated in any events/movements. This led me to join this chatroom. It would be amazing if a few of you guys could comment below what Riot Grrrl means to you and how it affected your life. Thank You!!!!
The new bloods are really good! I really love the drums in their songs, it makes the songs amazing! i really recommend them!
Hi I'm a big fan of Riot Grrrl music, and I have a school essay coming up where we have to pick a song to analyze. Only problem is it has to be clean. My teacher (in my opinion) is underestimating how punk I am because I'm a girl (not out at school)
For some background I go to a strict christian school (being gay is a sin blah blah blah typical exclusionary christian stuff).
I was thinking of doing Riot Girl by Bikini Kill because that was the first song I thought of that didn't have swears unfortuantly it uses slut which is "not acceptable to call a woman". So I need some help finding a song that has clean language. This also is an anlysis and requires at least 2 critic reviews. Any help is appreciated.
I think a lot of people on this sub would like this band. Formed about two years ago in Boone, NC, Babe Haven has been the most kickass queer riot punk bands in the state. I saw them in March 2022 at a small venue and fell in love. I try to see them any chance I get. Heavily influenced by Bikini Kill but with more of a metalcore sound and some really great songwriting. They have two albums and an EP out. The EP is more shoe-gazey and not quite their signature style but it has a few good tracks. Really fun to see live too, they have a great stage presence and the crowd at their shows are almost always good people. They've been doing bigger and bigger shows the last year and I think they could really make it big.
They don't have much on the schedule now for touring but they're playing in LA next week at a show riot grrrl legends L7 are putting on.
Found this band called “Riot Grrrl”. They’re pretty good too. Yet I can’t find ANY info on them, they made one album in 2014 one of those songs was a cover to smells like teen spirit by nirvana. I looked them up on google and can’t find anything and there’s so info on any of the band members… does anyone know who they are and why they stop making music??
I’ve heard a lot of people say that Sonic youth is riot grrrl but I searched it up and google said it wasn’t. I was just wondering if it’s Riot Grrrl or not
My favorite band of all time is X ray spex followed by Bratmobile. I love bikini's songs Strawberry Julius, jigsaw youth, and Thorton Hears a Who. I love Le tigres song The The Empty and Slidshow at free university. More examples of my music taste are Don't Wake the Baby and French Kiss the Elderly by Jack Off Jill, Jennifer's body by Hole.
To all my fellow Kathleen Hanna lovers: I would love if Julie Ruin was on Spotify/Apple music. Such an incredible album. I listen to it on SoundCloud and everytime it is interrupted by an ad it just kills the vibe. Kathleeeeennn pleaseeee.
hiiii i hope this is allowed but delete if not sorry! i just made a riot grrrl tumblr community since there really wasn’t one on there and i love tumblr! so you are all welcome to join if you want to <3 xx
hey grrrls!
i've been making zines for well over a year now, but 9 months ago, i started my quarterly zine - grrrl talk! i'm on insta at rosie.zines, and love trading! usually i only trade in the uk bc of shipping costs, but i'm trying to build up my patch jacket so if you have any cool band patches, i'd love to trade. anyway, check them out! if you aren't in the uk, or don't make zines, i have a little bigcartel site where you can pay a pound plus postage :)
no stress, just wanted to share :)
xx
i really like mommy long legs, le tigre, and cheap perfume! anything slightly similar to any of these bands would be awesome :)
