Riot Grrrl

Riot Grrrl is a feminist and punk movement that emerged in the early 1990s, primarily among young women in the United States. It combines punk music, zine (self-published magazine) culture, and activism to challenge sexism, misogyny, and gender inequality. The movement promotes self-empowerment, sexual positivity, and political awareness, encouraging women to express themselves authentically and fight for social change. Its influence extends through musical bands, grassroots organizing, and a push for greater representation of women in arts and politics. Riot Grrrl has played a significant role in shaping feminist discourse within alternative and youth cultures.
