How to be a Riot Grrrl in 5 easy steps!

"Wake up each day and deal with the shit coz that shit is solid gold, baby!! That's the stuff that will make you, YOU! and my grrrl, you will shine like a fuckin' diamond." Last year I sat and watched Moxie with my two adolescent daughters. It sparked their interest in the riot grrrl movement as they watched Vivian and her friends fight the institutionalised sexism in their school. Not long after, I caught my girls drawing hearts and stars on their hands, they started looking through my zine collection and added numerous riot grrrl tracks to their digital playlists. They began to be more openly critical of the way the boys in their own schools treated or spoke to the girls. They got really annoyed at anything that, in their eyes, was sexist. It was amazing to watch as a mum! In the same way that Moxie's character Vivian takes inspiration from her mum's riot grrrl past, I saw a similar thing happening with my own kids. In the movie, ...

The Origins of the Riot Grrrl Ethos

Marina Red tracks back through the decades to uncover the origins of the Riot Grrrl ethos and finds herself (unexpectedly) in Frank Zappa’s basement and at the start of a musical revolution with the formation of The G.T.O’s. Here’s their story ... Like the Riot Grrrls that followed, The G.T.O.s challenged society’s preconceptions of gender stereotypes I put the CD into my Dad’s stereo and whack the volume right up. Moments later the room is filled with Kat Bjelland’s screams accompanied by the dirty wailing guitars, bass and pounding rhythm sound that was Babes in Toyland’s Fontanelle album. It’s 1992 and every hormone in my teenage body springs to life. Sick of the hairspray rock that I’d grown up with, I’d moved quickly towards the grunge scene when it broke. But this sound blaring around my living room was different; new to me. It shattered the mold of androcentric rock and it finally felt very female; very me. It was the start of a lifelong obsession....

Interview with Larissa Oliveira, Zinester and Punk Lover.

"I am strongly inspired by women in rock because of their freedom of words, attitudes, image, movement, and social activism." Who are you and what do you do? My name is Larissa Oliveira, I am Brazilian (25), an ESL teacher, writer and punk lover (haha). I am also a zinester and graduated in Pedagogy. My favorite fruit is watermelon and my favorite movie is Trainspotting; I identify myself as a riot grrrl and I've been teaching myself English, French and Italian for years. Who or what inspires you? I am strongly inspired by women in rock because of their freedom of words, attitudes, image, movement, and social activism. Some examples are the riot grrrl pioneers (Bikini Kill and Bratmobile) and punk poets like Patti Smith and Lydia Lunch. As a zinester, I take a lot of inspiration from Bikini Kill's Tobi Vail and as a writer from Patti Smith's writing style. My love for languages is not only connected to my teaching career bu...
