I enjoyed reading Riot Grrls because I think it is a really cool group that deals with girls, girls, and girls and in a good way. I wish I would have heard of this before because I can't say that I had any idea that there was such a group. I love music and I think it is awesome that this group can express it through singing and playing music. It is a little sad that the original women from the beginning of this group have moved on to new projects because of the outcome it has had on many women and even men. It thought it was kind of crappy that one of the girls talked about how the media did care what the girls had to say just wanted the pictures and the fashion which they weren’t looking for. The music was supposed to help with violence, oppression, and racism so instead of reporting on these women they found women that were more pleasant such as Alanis Morrisette and Liz Phair with more of pop music then the death metal.
I also like the part where they talk about the t-shirts and slogans for “girl power” because I remember when I was little seeing and having shirts like “Chicks Rule” and “Girls Rock” and so did my sister and friends.
After I read the words “Can EVERY girl be a riot grrl?” on the picture included in the article, I thought about it for a bit and I believe any girl can be a riot grrl because I think we all have that strong powerful part of us which might be deep down for some of us but it is there. I hope this continues and I hope I hear more about it.
