Hi so, i wanna research this subculture, but idk where, since titkok isn treally reliable, but from what i heard its stance is pretty much based on feminism, could some of yall tell me more bout it / reffer me to some articles / videos that genuinely explain this sub culture???
Aadam Jacobs (aka the Chicago Tape Guy) recorded more than 10,000 live shows, mostly in the Chicago area. His tape collection is being digitized and uploaded to the Internet Archive. These four sets from a band often cited as influential by riot grrrl artists were just added today:
Scrawl Live at Cabaret Metro on 1989-02-25
Scrawl Live at Cubby Bear on 1989-03-10
i love feminist riotgrrl music! can anyone recommend me a good band?
i love the sound of bratmobile, bikini kill, mommy long legs, and jack off jill
Hey everyone, it’s Lou here again!
I posted a while back about my Barcelona-based punk trio, Hekate Heads, and the response from this community was so incredible. I wanted to pop back in because our brand new single, "Everyone Is Gay," is officially dropping tomorrow (July 2nd) on all digital streaming platforms!
I hope this is not considered spam by the mods cuz it isn't at all, I'm just empowering our community bringing cool music to light from 3 independent girls making the most of our new release and we are very excited about it! 😄
Our guitarist Pau wrote this track as a loud, chaotic, and unfiltered anthem about fluid sexuality, rejecting rigid societal expectations, and just living authentically. It’s the first single from our new 6-track EP Manifestin' coming out at the end of the summer, and it’s easily the heaviest, fiercest thing we’ve done yet.
Since the release is tomorrow, pre-saves are absolutely critical for independent DIY bands like us to get noticed by the streaming algorithms. If you have a quick second to support some independent riot/queer punk, it would mean the world to us if you could pre-save it here:

Thank you all so much for the ongoing support! Honestly, this sub keeps the real DIY spirit alive. Let me know what you think of the track when it drops tomorrow! 🔥 🙌
After a decade of gender confusion and distress, listening to bands like Bikini Kill and Jack Off Jill helped me connect with my feminine power. I even started writing my own music and now I’m a somewhat successful performer. I can now be the ultimate woman on stage and irl. I am eternally grateful
I wanna hear what the grrrls are singing about in the 2020s but I swear I cant find any that are still active....I could just not be looking hard enough, but if anyone's got recs let me know!
So I’m (23F) on vacation visiting family, which I don’t get to do often. My older brother (26M) brought his gf along. She (21F) is an absolute sweetheart, but she puts up with far more disrespect from his end than she deserves.
We’re out of the country for this visit. She doesn’t speak the languages of our fam. She feels isolated and misses home, family and dog (espite the visit lasting only 2 weeks for her). He gets angry whenever I try to provide her any language/emotional support. I’ve been trying to make her feel welcome within our family while she is abroad, but having grown up with my older brother, I know his abusive tendencies and what she’s putting up with. Our mother and grandmother want to pretend everything is okay.
This being said, we mostly got along over a major family event but on our return drive, my brother’s woman-hating tendencies came to surface again (probably because we were finally out of the public eye).
We have an 8 hour road trip set out for us tomorrow, and as far as I understand, he ripped into me and his girlfriend for asking him to skip a song on our 1 hour drive back home. I tried to ask why he was mad at me while trying to give him a glass of ice water because of the heat wave here, and assuming he might be out of whits due to the hot weather. He rambled on about me “acting confused and teaming up against him” with his girlfriend who had also just received a verbal lashing from him.
So now I ask the public to help me curate a playlist of songs which a racist, anti-feminist and right-wing extremist might find offensive (in a subtle sense). Right now I’ve been considering some Charlie xcx and Snoop Dogg’s “b*tch n*****” (both as a taste of his own sweet medicine and because our mother, who will be driving, loves pop and hip hop”). I need some other pointed yet subtle songs to add into the mix. He cussed me out multiple times over the past week when he gave his gf silent treatment, simply because I tried my best to make her feel comfortable when he’d rather isolate her from anyone else in a country where she cannot communicate with anyone ouside my direct family (because she didn’t feel comfortable sleeping with him in our family member’s bed, btw). Even our 13 year old brother feels bad for this girl, and I just need a way to get through this 8 hr drive while shitting on my AH brother but not outright starting sh*t, if that makes sense?
I realize this is very well childish, but I’d like to bring out the worst of his own behaviour in the presence of our mother (who very much enables and defends my abusive brother) in front of his girlfriend, so she can 1) understand who my brother actually is at heart, and 2) see how he actually treats the women in his life, but I need to do so in a way that isn’t asking directly for a fight (because obviously my mother would say I’m asking for more of this behaviour). The GF already told me he’s the best she’s ever had in a relationship (so I don’t expect her to break up with him, but hopefully she can remove her rose tinted glasses and recognize she deserves better than his manipulative and abusive behaviour).
So please, what non-pointed songs do you know of that make abusive/narcissistic/manipulative men go insane?
Can’t have any anti-fascist, etc titles to the songs either because they’ll show up on the screen and he’d catch on within the 8 hour drive
Any help is greatly appreciated
Hi all! I’m in a band called ”Hello, Operator?” We’re a femme punk band with riot grrrl and grunge influence. You can fund us on TikTok and IG, and listen to our Debut Single “Foggy Nightmare” anywhere you stream your music!
I guess I’m coming here for advice because I don’t know what to do anymore.
I was having sex with a guy and at one point I pushed his chest and said stop. He did for a moment and continued. He later said he heard me. He later doubled down saying I could’ve said it again I could’ve said it louder.
His bandmates told me that it was poor phrasing on his end.
I tried talking to 2 of his frontmen and sent them all the screenshots I had of it. Him saying he heard me and whatnot. Unbeknownst to me they reported back to him and said that it was a miscommunication.
I have a more detailed account on my profile. One of them told me to please refrain from making any statements because it can hurt him and the people around him. They have a good run of shows coming up and :/.
I don’t know what to do anymore I feel so alone and sad. I don’t even know if I did the right thing telling his bandmates. Or if I should just let this go.
They’ll probably see this. I’m just so sad
Hey ya'll!! I am a vocalist looking for a drummer for a melodic hardcore band in the Philadelphia area. Not specifically riotgrrrl but the rest of us (guitar, bass, vocals) are all femmes so would like to keep it that way if possible. The idea is a satire of wild conspiracy theories and worshipping 5G

Las Ultrasonicas
Niñas Cochinas
Jessy Bulbo
MUÑECA
I've put together a 15-hour playlist of my favorite Riot Grrrl (and Riot Grrrl-adjacent) bands.
I've discovered a lot of great bands here, and this is my little way of showing thanks.
Hopefully you'll find some new bands you like.

a real long while back, like two months ago, i had posted quite a bit asking for help with my Riot Grrrl paper for my English class.
i hope yall remember me! i needed sources and zines and current bands and yall freaking delivered! there was even a member of a current band, Cat Crash, that was part of this conversation and seriously- you guys delivered. that paper wouldn't have gotten done with the help of this subreddit.
i just wanted to update yall since you helped me so so much with that paper- i got full marks for it, 175/175 points!! it ended up being 15/16 pages long with an additional 4 pages of sources!
it has definitely become my favorite passion project i've done and Riot Grrrl has become my calling card in the English department lol. again, thank yall so much!
rock on!
ETA: my essay 🙈🙈 people asked so i shall deliver!!! there's space to do better, absolutely, but i hope yall enjoy it as much as my professor did, and nearly as much as i do
Do you think Burka Band is punk in its own way? Not with screaming or revolution, but in a gentle style that conveys a message about daily life?
I’ve been into Riot Grrrl music for like a while now, but I’ve been wanting to show it more. As someone who owns no punky clothes, how can I start? What are some staples/outfit combos, or how could I make outfits punk?
We're kicking off the NYC Riot Grrrl Chapter at Punk Island on June 27th at 2:30 PM! Punk Island is a free festival featuring incredible bands, zine fairs, artists, and community organizations. We'll be hosting a zine and bracelet-making workshop, sharing resources on the history of Riot Grrrl, and talking about how this new wave of Riot Grrrl is working to build a more inclusive, intersectional community. https://www.instagram.com/p/DZYLCJPqn02/
the girls are reunited😭💖 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZ9SjAFIQ-\_/?igsh=MWdhN2wzbzBvdGJvOA==
