I've seen "riot grrrl" thrown around a lot in feminist online spaces, but usually stripped of context beyond an alternative fashion statement. I was only dimly aware of what that really meant, and I assumed that it wasn't for me because I didn't "look like one." It was nice to read a perspective that both acknowledged the flaws of the movement while still providing the context for the passion that drove so many young women to become one, and how these women had to fight the dilution of their message from the very beginning. While it's no surprise that mainstream media has flattened the message of the movement into music and fashion, I think the reemergence of zines shows that their contribution lives on beyond music.
