Talk:Riot grrl

"riot grrl" vs. "riot grrrl"

most of the girls i know who were involved and invested in it during its heyday prefer the spelling "riot grrrl." even within this entry, we don't use a consistent spelling. would anyone support moving this entry to "riot grrrl" and leaving "riot grrl" as a redirect? (i'm willing to do the clean-up, if so.) - Esk

hm, yeah, "grrl" seems to be more common now on the internet. but it's been my impression that it was a later mutation of "grrrl." considering how quickly r.g. was co-opted and made into an "almost meaningless media catchphrase," i dunno how meaningful that statistic is. some links:

 * "riot grrrl" by kathleen hanna, from bikini kill zine #2 (?), early '90s
 * riot grrrl retrospective museum collection, from seattle's experience music project
 * current incarnations of the riot grrrl dc and riot grrrl nyc chapters
 * academic bibliography and resources focused on "grrrl zines"
