Hi! here I am again, and today I'm really happy because is a free blog. The topic that we chose is music, and I will talk about a genre of music, but it is not to famous, The Riot grrrl.
Riot grrrl was a feminist punk movement that born on the 90's. This girls defied stereotypes of women, and in their songs they talk about topics like rape, domestic abuse, male dominance of the social hierarchy and female empowerment, from a veri radical point of view.
This movement was centered in Olympia, Washington, and the most important girl, and one of the founders, was Kathleen Hanna.
They always belived in the "Do-It-Yourself" methods, for example they maked fanzines and formed garage bands.
The music is really noisy, and everyone could play it, you did not have to know too much about music if you have something to say and protest about it.
Some bands of this movement were Bikini Kill, Bratmobile, L7, Excuse 17, Team Dresh, etc.
I listen to some of this bands, like Bikini Kill and L7. I enjoy this kind of music, not only because I like only the music, also I think that the lyrics talk about interesting topics.
I agree with gender equality, and I think music is a very powerful arm to protest and to make these ideas well known around the world.
