Correlation of the 1990s era and Feminism
The 1990s had very powerful women singers that pushed their lyrics regarding women empowerment and girl power. The women singers of the 1990s really challenged society's image on how they depict women in stereotypical roles. Punk rock groups have sky-rocked during this era. Kathleen Hanna was the lead singer of a punk-rock girl group called Bikini Kill and she would encourage that all of the girls in the crowds of her concerts to go to the front so that they feel safe and she can see what is going on in front of her eyes.
