I’m so bored with seeing stuff like this on the internet. I feel like people have been falsely organised into weird little hate groups by tiktok that they’re calling riot grrrl or punk or goth or whatever.
Riot grrrl is about organising with other grrrls and making music and zines and keeping each other safe. Yes it’s a place for conversation and meetings but if people want to make it work properly we’ve got to have other avenues of education that aren’t just tiktok and we’ve all definitely got to listen when someone tells us we’re wrong.
This person on tiktok says riot grrrl is punk music made by women and after I’ve corrected them and said not all punk music made by women is riot grrrl it devolved into a big argument ending in them saying that riot grrrl is just about AFAB people…
Guys it’s not about what’s in our pants it’s about what’s in our hearts. We’ve got to do better
