Around ten years ago, I was deeply into riot grrrl. I tried to set up my own “chapter”(group), listened to a lot of music made by the musicians involved in the scene’s music (Bikini Kill, Sleater-Kinney, Le Tigre etc.), read a lot of zines (and wrote a few myself) and made sure every username I had online had the word grrrl or grrl in it somewhere.
