Welcome back to Parsons Playlists<\/a>! To day we feature a collection of Riot Grrrl music curated by Music Library Associate Melanie. <\/em><\/p>\n

Riot Grrrl<\/strong><\/p>\n

Riot grrrl began in the early 1990s as a DIY, feminist punk movement. Riot grrrl saw girls as a “revolutionary soul force” with the power to disrupt the status quo; rejecting social constructs of how women were supposed to look and behave; and zeroing in on personal and political discussions of sexism, sexuality, sexual violence, female empowerment, racism, ageism, homophobia, fat shaming, and able-bodiedism. <\/p>\n

The riot grrrl movement allowed women their own space to create music and make political statements about the issues they were facing in the punk rock community and in society. <\/p>\n

This playlist is inspired by the Music Library’s current exhibit: “Girls to the Front: The Riot Grrrl Revolution” which you should come to the library to take a look at should you have the time or inclination.
\nIt features riot grrrl music from the 1990s(ish), and tracks by fellow travelers, antecedents and descendants. <\/p>\n
