Riot grrrl is a subcultural movement that combines feminism, punk music, and politics.

The genre has also been described as coming out of indie rock, with the punk scene serving as an inspiration for a movement in which women could express anger, rage, and frustration, emotions considered socially acceptable for male songwriters but less common for women. Riot grrrl songs often addressed issues such as rape, domestic abuse, sexuality, racism, patriarchy, classism, anarchism, and female empowerment.

Culture Jamming
Culture jamming (sometimes also guerrilla communication) is a form of protest used by many anti-consumerist social movements to disrupt or subvert media culture and its mainstream cultural institutions, including corporate advertising. It attempts to "expose the methods of domination" of mass society. Culture jamming employs techniques originally associated with Letterist International, and later Situationist International known as ''détournement.'' It uses the language and rhetoric of mainstream culture to subversively critique the social institutions that produce that culture. Tactics include editing company logos to critique the respective companies, products, or concepts they represent, or wearing fashion statements that criticize the current fashion trends by deliberately clashing with them.Boden, Sharon and Williams, Simon J.

Hip-hop Feminism

The term was coined by the American author Joan Morgan in her book ''When Chickenheads Come Home to Roost: A Hip Hop Feminist Breaks it Down'' for black women who grew up in the post-Civil Rights Movement and feminist movement era of the 1960s and 1970s. Morgan explains that a hip hop feminist is a self-defined name for black feminists that acknowledges black women's lived experiences as they identify with and enjoy hip hop culture along with supporting feminist issues and agendas where black women are marginalized by the mainstream feminist movement because of their ...
