I have mixed feelings about 'Riot Women' myself. I feel it's a bit 'M&S'/bland, which may be due to the way TV has to be packaged for streaming services these days. Outside of the UK who understands 'gritty Northern'?

I also get the frustration about the lack of central queer - specifically lesbian - characters.

OTOH, for all this writer's nostalgia about the 90s riot grrrl scene, that wasn't a 'generation' of lesbians. It was a cult scene for a minority of (overwhelmingly) white women and was more of a US thing.

From what I remember, most gay/bisexual young women in the UK were listening to queer-friendly mainstream pop and rock.

And there WAS still a lot of exclusion of women in music - usually via them not being taken as seriously as men, especially when it came to playing instruments. All the women she lists were primarily singers.

There is a fascinating TV series to be made about a menopausal rock band – Riot Women isn’t it

Writer-director Sally Wainwright is a national treasure, but here she’s reduced the fury and passion of the riot grrrl movement to a minor plot device, says Tiff Bakker, a New York-based writer

"Fuck It" groupe Riot Grrrl / Post-Punk Noise clermontois

je les avais déjà vues cet été et c'est pour elles qu'on y est retourné·es avec mes potes hier soir !
Elles sont très cool et ça tabasse. Et je suis tellement une fangirl qu'avec une autre personne que je connais (on était premier rang, les deux folles qui dansaient à fond haha) on a réussi à leur faire faire un rappel alors qu'elles n'en font jamais 😎
Tu sais faire du bruit ou tu sais pas, voilà voilà :D

Fuck it

French female band FUCK IT delivers a wild and incisive post-punk, between disturbed Riot grrrl and schizophrenic guitar.

My feminist grunge punk band Lavender Witch exists 8 years (+ 1 day)! We had our first rehearsal on October 4th 2017. For the occasion we wrote a little blogpost with some more photos of what we did the past 8 months: https://lavenderwitchband.wordpress.com/2025/10/05/lavender-witch-turns-8-happy-birthday-to-us/

At the moment we’re putting the finishing touches on our second album – title will be revealed soon – and we have so many plans for the coming year. Check https://lavenderwitchband.wordpress.com/linktree/ to be kept up to date!

For #MusicWomenWednesday this week, it's the kind of day, with the death that's all over the news, that I thought I'd play a #GirlPower song. Here's some pre-Sleater-Kinney Carrie Brownstein
