Riot grrrl (or riot grrl) is an indie/punk feminist movement that reached its height in the 1990s but continues to exert influence over alternative cultures.
The term "riot grrrl" is both a genre designation of the movement, and can also refer to individual self-proclaimed riot grrrls who foster an aggressively independent Do-It-Yourself subculture by organizing and supporting 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.
