really crazy how popular alt genres like ‘grunge’ or ‘emo’ can be breeding grounds of so much misogyny and homophobia, especially considering bands like nirvana and my chemical romance both formed a massive amount of their musical roots/political messages in the exact same 90s lesbian punk spaces.

people commonly cite the inherent homoeroticism in ‘punk’, ‘grunge’, and ‘emo’ (they’re in quotations because, like all genres, they’re pretty blurry categories) as the ironic companion to the all the homophobia, but they rarely talk about the irony of the misogyny as well. yes, danzig inspired a lot of popular alt bands - kathleen hanna had a direct hand in nirvana and my chemical romance being names, even existing, and yet bikini kill aren’t given half as much credit as the misfits are.

“when i was around 16 i became friends with these really cool girls, and that's how i got exposed to bikini kill, helium, bratmobile -

that was the real punk. all the other hardcore scenes at the time were a little bit hypermasculine and violent, which was totally unappealing to me.

but here are these bands - bikini kill, et cetera that were actually talking about important things.

that was real punk.”

- gerard way
