riot grrrl

Predictable rec from me but also a very special rec as it's my 100TH REC! Riot Grrrl was a feminist punk movement in the Pacific North West in the 90s. I became of a devotee of the movement after reading Carrie Brownstein's memoir Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl. So many legendary punk bands came out of this time like Bikini Kill, Bratmobile, and Excuse 17. The genre is so important because it created space for women to make music about emotions typically only deemed socially acceptable for men to embody (e.g. RAGE). I implore you to listen to my personal favorite riot grrrl song: Watchmaker by Excuse 17. Soooooooo good and angry. Basically about mansplaining. More than just the music, it was an entire subculture with zines, art, and activism. The artwork created for the zines is so sick. I hope to one day make something as cool. Link on the post takes you to a catalogue of all the zines. :) The whole vibe of the movement obviously really speaks to me and I wish I could've been there and been a part of it. Hope to one day visit the PNW and feel a little closer to it.

being a nerd about stuff

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

not being on tiktok

i had it for a little over a year until i was like wow this is actually terrible! i genuinely think it has negatively impacted society by ruining people’s attention spans, having a horrific algorithm, and most of all by the most mind-numbing or outright harmful trends - fake words that people now use IRL (“unalive”), trad wife tiktok, shein hauls, body-focused fitness vids that encourage fatphobia and unhealthy habits, shallow political/feminist theory and queer discourse, “alpha male” podcaster tiktok, encouraging overconsumption in general, trends ruining local spots or niche things… the list goes on
