( INFORMATION AND EXAMPLES OF EACH GENRE UNDER CUT )

PAISLEY UNDERGROUND !

Artists: Mazzy Star, The Three O'Clock, The Bangles, The Dream Syndicate, The Rain Parade

Most popular Era: Mid 80s - early 90s

Basic definition: Paisley underground was a movement that formed in Los Angeles. It involves an interesting mix of jangle pop, psychedelia and alternative rock. This eclectic genre gained mainstream popularity when songs like "Walk Like an Egyptian" topped the charts, becoming global hits. The Paisley Underground sound is defined by its jangly guitars, lush vocal harmonies, and introspective, thoughtful lyrics.

RIOT GRRRL !

Artists: Bikini Kill, Bratmobile, Sleater-Kinney, Emily's Sassy Lime, Lunachicks

Most popular Era: 90s

Basic definition: Riot grrrl was an underground feminist punk movement originating in the 90s, predominantly in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Known for its raw, unapologetic attitude, riot grrrl music is characterized by its confrontational lyrics addressing issues such as gender inequality, patriarchy, and sexual assault.  The genre often features fast-paced, guitar-driven music with shouted vocals and a DIY ethos. It came from women wanting to express the same rage and emotions that were considered socially acceptable for men but not so much for women. Riot grrrl is much more than just a genre— it's an entire movement.
