yes!!!!! i fucking love riot grrrl music

the classics / circa ~90s: bikini kill, hole, bratmobile, 7 year bitch, le tigre, veruca salt, babes in toyland, L7, jack off jill, tribe8 more recent/newer bands: the shiverettes, mommy long legs (LOVE them), team dresch, pom pom squad, destroy boys, THICK, slutever, tacocat, butch baby, dazey and the scouts, sorry mom?, the oozes, childbirth, queen chimera (most of these are explicitly riot grrrl - a few are def queer punk, DIY etc but idk if they’d all specifically describe themselves as riot grrrl but have an adjacent sound and vibe for sure)

riot grrrl

Predictable rec from me but also a very special rec as it's my 100TH REC! Riot Grrrl was a feminist punk movement in the Pacific North West in the 90s. I became of a devotee of the movement after reading Carrie Brownstein's memoir Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl. So many legendary punk bands came out of this time like Bikini Kill, Bratmobile, and Excuse 17. The genre is so important because it created space for women to make music about emotions typically only deemed socially acceptable for men to embody (e.g. RAGE). I implore you to listen to my personal favorite riot grrrl song: Watchmaker by Excuse 17. Soooooooo good and angry. Basically about mansplaining. More than just the music, it was an entire subculture with zines, art, and activism. The artwork created for the zines is so sick. I hope to one day make something as cool. Link on the post takes you to a catalogue of all the zines. :) The whole vibe of the movement obviously really speaks to me and I wish I could've been there and been a part of it. Hope to one day visit the PNW and feel a little closer to it.

WHY THO?

Why not go through the process of blending those images yourself? Why not use process as an experiment? Why AI? What part are you playing? What makes it yours? I think AI is impersonal. I think it is unethical when it has relied on the theft of actual people’s actual physical (and because of the nature of art, often time emotional) labor. I also think it is unnecessary in creating art. I also think the environmental impacts are atrocious. I also think AI’s biggest supporters are being maliciously ignorant because it’s a fun new toy. Is it ease? Is it efficiency? People talk about accessibility as if children don’t use crayons and stickers! As if graffiti artists don’t use postal labels as sticker, as if sand mandalas don’t exist, as if cardboard and tape aren’t in over abundance.

Tbh, i mostly hate the re-rec feature

Maybe this isn’t so much a fix for staff, but I feel like the reposting of things has gotten a bit lame. I don’t want the “Everyone” feed to be the same post 20 times with nothing added, especially when the thing being re-rec’d isn’t even a real reccomendation in the first place. I like this app because it is different than Instagram and Twitter and tumblr and the like. I feel like people are trying to interact similarly to those other apps here. I feel like we are all drifting back into creating the same social media AGAIN. My vote would be to remove the feature entirely, but I see how it can be used thoughtfully
