Riot Grrrl

Riot Grrrl is a feminist punk/indie genre and movement. Its popularity peaked in the 1990s. The movement consists of female-centric bands, festivals and shows; group meetings, networking, collectives, and support groups; free workshopping, self-defense courses (like Home Alive), activism (often with benefit concerts), and underground fanzine culture. Bikini Kill and Bratmobile are two prominent examples of bands that are in the Riot Grrrl movement.
