Riot Grrrl
Riot Grrrl is a feminist punk movement that emerged in the early 1990s, primarily in the United States. It combined music, activism, and DIY culture, focusing on issues such as gender equality, sexual empowerment, and social justice. Bands like Bikini Kill and Bratmobile were central to the movement, using their music to challenge societal norms and promote feminist ideals.
The movement also included zines, which were self-published magazines that shared personal stories, political views, and artistic expressions. Riot Grrrl encouraged young women to express themselves creatively and politically, fostering a sense of community and solidarity among its members.
