The Boys Wanna be Her…

 

Since I talked a little about Joan Jett last post, I figured I’d follow up with Peaches’ “The Boys Wanna be Her,” seeing as how it was written about Jett.

I first heard Peaches when watching Lost in Translation and have been a fan ever since. She definitely fits in with the Riot Grrrl movement, even though she wasn’t directly involved and has come to be more well known in the recent years. Her songs are overtly sexual and she doesn’t make an attempt to abide by the rules. Peaches likes to toy around with male/female gender barriers, often blurring the line separating the two.

And so we begin…

So, here’s to my new blog. I figured I’d do a little research into the Riot Grrrl movement, the bands associated with it, what it means to be a Riot Grrrl, and all that fun stuff. I’ve always been into alternative culture (ok, so I had a brief run-in with pre-teen boy band adoration, but seriously, who could resist N Sync and Justin Timberlake’s cute head of curls? not me, for sure). I’ll get this up and rolling fairly soon, so sit tight. There will be plenty of videos posted and I’m going to take a look at a few modern day Riot Grrrl-esque bands/artists too.
