'''[[Riot Grrrl]]''' (Riot Grrl) was a young feminist movement mainly within the punk rock and alternative music scenes beginning in the early 1990s in Olympia, WA and Washington DC. Due to the media scrutiny in the mid-1990s and other factors within the actual movement, Riot Grrrl stalled. Today it is considered or studied as a subcategory of third wave feminism, and there are currently no known active Riot Grrrl chapters. Riot Grrrl was influential in the punk rock and alternative music scenes, as well as in other independent media and allowed young women to assert themselves in the male dominated scenes of both music and [[zines]]. It was argued in [[Media Whore]] #5 (published in 2005) that the riot grrrl spirit primarily exists in zines made by young women today.

Most Riot Grrrl zines or zines from the Riot Grrrl era were of the personal-political variety, meaning writing about political issues from a personal perspective.

Black Friday Edit-a-Thon


Getting a database error when you search for an article? There is a problem on the back end, if an article doesn't exist, you are getting an error instead of the prompt to start a new article. We are working on it! In the meantime, it seems the only way to start a new article is by creating a link to a new article title on an existing page (like your own user discussion page) and then following that link and editing it.

Please consider joining dozens of zinesters this Friday to edit and update Zine Wiki!
