Bikini kill - Rebel Girl

[SemiToneBlew]

It's like the feminist side of the stooges

[crackintheroadtv]

What film is this taken from?

[skegpit]

So many empty kitchens... :(

[originofangles]

@skegpit no

[ZRN959]

@skegpit ...I wouldn't say that....

[mguygh]

look up be your own pet if you like this

[thepastwasbetter1]

wanted a little punk? for here you have it

[starlodear]

Punk scene: a lot of whining, dumber-than-they-think-know-it­-all limousine commie brats with no idea on capitalism and communism.Tthey are actually so ignorant to believe that DIY equals anti-capitalism and pro-communism when in fact it's the opposite: With communism the dear leader would decide what is right for the public good whereas in capitalism you are free to DIY without any interventions from above. Thus, DIY is unadulterated capitalism! But try telling this to the ignorant punks.

[ambskater97]

@starlodear fuck off, you redneck

[virtue696]

@starlodear i dont think think ive ever heard of a communist punker b4....

anarchist yeah but communis???t...i think your the confused one.....

[starlodear]

So Kathleen Hanna is a vegetarian but pro abortion. I guess she deems a pig higher than a human being. She was dumb enough to say that if she hadn't had an abortion at 15 (i.e. she had a little bit of fun and fornicated and then got pregnant and had her child murdered out of convenience instead of facing her responsibility) she wouldn't be a star. Goes to show how vapid and obtuse the pseudointellectual left is. Completely deluded and conceited with no grasp on any ethics whatsoever.

[virtue696]

@starlodear fuck if i was a chick i wouldnt let fascist fucks like you tell me what i can

and cant do with my own body..

[CreeepitReal]

@starlodear lol idiot

[downwiththemaster]

[ErikaAllyn]

Blood on the Dance Floor in the suggestions?.....

The world really is going to end.

[loveislovepeaceis]

@ErikaAllyn god help us now

[zodiacchiller]

what is the chinese film this is from?

[cyle4499]

Nice

[cyle4499]

Noce

[kaxtorplose]

Janie Briggs is a communist!

[GuessingMental]

@kaxtorplose HAHAHA Janie's got a gun!! AHHH!!

[ParanoidAndroid98]

I have no idea why communism is stigmatized so widely throughout the world.

[Marxistrebel88]

@ParanoidAndroid98

Because it is by far the most threatening ideology to those who run the world, and they spend endless amounts of money on propaganda to demonize and discredit it.

[polosandpearls]

@ParanoidAndroid98 i know right

[CelestialMare]

1:24 WTF o.o

[hitthecouch]

WTF is this clips from South Pacific the musical?

[The1991blahblahblah]

@windrix1 the guitarist was a male. and feminism isn't unneccesary.

[Marxistrebel88]

To all the those who are making anti-commie comments under this video-pick up a history book. Before the Communists came to power women in China were subjected to foot-binding and were sold off as concubines to warlords. Hundreds of millions of women rose up and liberated themselves from feudalism and capitalism and built a new society where they were treated as equals. Your idea of them as brainwashed mindslaves of Mao is ahistorical, racist, and sexist. Suck my left one!

[xTurnDaMusicUp]

thats the real video? 0.0

sounds like a fairly new song at first, converse, eyeliner, bitches etc...

[babby1290]

@adamkincaid1234

Fuck the man!

[DRUNKASSPUNK800]

What are you doing making music bitch? get back in the kitchen, make me a sandwich, and get me a beer.

[giganixon]

@DRUNKASSPUNK800 oh you ;)

[DRUNKASSPUNK800]

@giganixon The funny thing is, I've met a few men who can cook better than any woman I've ever met. Also, women suck in bed, men are much better. You women have no idea what to do with a penis...

[lynnbrucemeyer]

After the battle is over, Party representative Hung Chang-ching teaches the fighters that revolution is not a matter of taking personal revenge but of emancipating all mankind. Her class consciousness raised, Wu Ching-hua follows the company commander in energetically practicing marksmanship and grenade throwing.

[lynnbee666]

Red Detachment of Women: A Modern Revolutionary Dance Drama

Swinging her sword she fights the enemy diehards.

[rraacchheelleelliizz]

i know now where ashlee simpson got her unique tone from

[StarSavalani]

The irony that there is a "How to wax your bikini area" after this song is hilarious and certainly not lost on me LOL

[chuddycuddles]

i see you don't like the first amendment right you fascist fuck. also know your history, the crusades were a response to muslim genocide in Byzantine.

[Snafubar23]

Huh. A song extolling the the virtue of being one's own individual, set to video of a a rigidly choreographed propaganda piece that was meant to glorify one of the most controlling forms of governance in modern times. Such an interesting contradiction.

[berbobloo]

I like the cover that Robee Sonee and the tomgirls did better

[briteness]

This is an interesting juxtaposition. Is this the 'official' video for this song? Whether it is or not, how do we read this? Obviously Maoism sucked, so we're not supposed to buy into the propaganda. But presumably we are supposed to be sympathetic to the Rebel Girl of the song. Is this irony here? It cannot be advocating Maoist revolution, right, or equating the riot grrls with Maoists. Right? Sorry to be so obtuse, but I genuinely don't know the answers to these questions.

[chiamusics]

@briteness I'm a little bit disturbed by this too - it's ok. LOL! I hope they're being ironic because I'd be horrified to think that the person who put this video together doesn't know anything about the footage they've used.

[zackhanscom]

what a fucking joke. those ballet dancers were probably blackmailed. karl marx is responsible for more deaths than any other person in history.

[RevolutionaryWind]

@zackhanscom Lmao, how exactly? Also, Jesus is responsible for the most deaths than any other person in history. Not Karl Marx hahaha.

[chuddycuddles]

@RevolutionaryWind

lol faggot, doesn't know about the famines of USSR

[farmerxbrian]

@chuddycuddles are you fucking stupid? i'm sure he knows about the famines of the USSR, but have you ever heard of the Crusades? or the attempted Genocide in Germany during World War II? moron. also, don't use the word faggot. especially here. a band that was so crucial in a movement based around equal rights in the punk rock scene, and you come in here with that bullshit? fuck off.

[briteness]

@RevolutionaryWind We'll pay more attention when you've learned basic grammar. Then we can address the historical question.

[RevolutionaryWind]

@briteness No answer so you resort to a pseudo-intellectual attack on my grammar? Grow up. Come back when you can bring something logical to the table.

[BlowingUpArteries]

To my good friend, Debora, Rebel girl you are the queen of my world!!

[xbertocoaylax]

Yeah nothing says punk/feminism like ultra authoritarian totalitarian dictatorships.

[Marxistrebel88]

@xbertocoaylax:

Nothing says bourgeois Western male chauvinist then someone who smears hundreds of millions of Chinese women fighting for liberation from feudalism and capitalism as a 'totalitarian dictatorship', presumably because they are stupid brainwashed sheep who didn't know what was good for them. Open a book about what China was like for women before the Communists and the huge strides that were made for women's rights in the Mao era, then get back to me.

[idonthavefootprints]

Eh, Vintersorg are better. A lot better.

[khareen17]

Feminist Ryan Gosling redirected me here.

[zeemasses]

Hoooooooooray for being drunk and rockin out while having a d&d session ........ yeah i know nerdy as hell

[fuleng72]

[ScarlettRoberts]

we didn't born in the wrong generation... Industry just fucked the music live always... in the 70's were Disco in the 80's were Pop and electroshit(remember this) in the 90's we were back to disco but with techno... he we are again!!! Pop and electroshit! I call them Party Monster's they don't have anything to say except.... GO PARTY GO PARTY GET DRUNK GET DRUNK...... I Mean... what are we going to wait?

[stupidvideos21]

@ScarlettRoberts I stopped reading after "we didn't born"...

[ScarlettRoberts]

@stupidvideos21 oh yeah you love youtube but you want to be born 15 years before it even exist

[stupidvideos21]

@ScarlettRoberts At what point did I say I wanted to be born 15 years earlier? I simply was commenting on your atrocious grammar.

[adamkincaid1234]

teenager "what is punk?" man kicks over dustbin "that's punk, kid". the kid does the same and says "see?now i'm punk too?. "you're not punk, you're just trendy" says the man

[chabowker]

@adamkincaid1234 You're trendy for posting that.

[ariel12955]

@adamkincaid1234 Oh my god shut up.

[apokryphos117g]

@adamkincaid1234 Didn't Billy from GREEN DAY say this?I received a link from GREEN DAY w/this joke except it was a garbage can he kicked over.

[billiefanatic13]

@adamkincaid1234 That's a Billie Joe Armstrong quote!

[adamkincaid1234]

@billiefanatic13 er, yes I know that, thank you x

[Guitarsaregood4you]

@adamkincaid1234 shit someone already said that. damn:((((

[MissTyranicide]

@adamkincaid1234

i tell that joke to people all the time but when i heard it, he ended with "you're not punk, you're just trendy" and punches him in the face ;)

[HorrorBiz138]

[heyroy00]

@HorrorBiz138 si

[OldgrkironMaid]

[itscoinstarbitchezz]

thank you rock band <3

[TheMarikatycat]

JoanJett :BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB ♥ 

[TheCreepySun]

This song...So much win.

[MySupermario69]

@D4RKDE4TH666 Actually, you're writing on youtube. It's public and on the internet, so technically you're speaking to everyone.

[MySupermario69]

@D4RKDE4TH666 Why don't you go leave some lipstick-marks on Justin Biebers dick, then?

Music isn't about sounding pretty, you know... It's art, and all about expression and giving a message.

[sociopathicregret]

all lesbians will burn in hell

[ni486]

@sociopathicregret suck my fucking dick.

[TheCreepySun]

@sociopathicregret Troll.

[cliquehop]

Something about Riot Grrls....YOWZAAAAA!

[taubenuss]

sh!t its amazing

[artisticagi]

i like how she's asian

[RiotGrrrlLilith]

Feministas socialistas en acción!

[FunnyRacoon]

cool! sounds a bit like L7 :D

[AnaLuisaGD]

@TheLlith7 I thought exactly the same, and I'm a big Green Day fan. Just a coincidence? I don't know...

[OneTrickyPony91]

@AnaLuisaGD A third song that has an intro with a similar drum pattern is 1,000,000 by Nine Inch Nails.

[NegaRose13]

That girl can dance!

[TheLlith7]

only I think that the begining is like in Green day's "know your enemy"?? I like green day, but... they just copied! :/

[AWSOMEPOSSUM16]

@TheLlith7 It's just a drum riff. People have been playing drums for, what? 100 years? I'm sure at some point in time someone else used that before Bikini Kill.

[scartissue94]

@AWSOMEPOSSUM16

Unless you can name another track from a band that already used that beat, I think Bikini Kill has labeled it already.

[ohitsmollyruss]

@scartissue94 The Runaways - Cherry Bomb.

[scartissue94]

@ohitsmollyruss

What're you talking about, they're completely different.

[Ynimixer]

Mixing this song with that video is pure genius, thumbs up.

[nirvanawishiwas96]

what movie is this song on?

[jdlaw001]

@nirvanawishiwas96 Not another teen movie - love that movie!

[nirvanawishiwas96]

@jdlaw001 oh yeah! what scene,though?

[jdlaw001]

@nirvanawishiwas96 When Janey's painting like mad in art class.

[nirvanawishiwas96]

@jdlaw001 oh yeah:)

[wwmadi]

the video really fits with the song

[prettyboyjj30]

THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCCCCCCIIIIIIIIIINNGGGGGG CRRAAAAZZZZY!!!

[95foofighter]

Badass drumming

[WolksVagon449]

PUUUUUUUUNK ROOOOOOOOCK

[PeaceLoveEquality]

Wow. I just came back to this video and just noticed how many comments and "thumbs up" I got. Thank you? Just enjoy the music, my friends.

[sk8apunkgirl]

lol! same beat as my chemical romance party poison both rlly good songs :D

[Janie24689]

*snicker* It seems some have forgotten what Kathleen said about Bikini Kill regarding music and artistry: "Bikini Kill are activists, not musicians." It's the punk D.I.Y. ethic, it's agitation, it's text put into action, it's riot grrrrrl. Deal. :)

[Bubzy562]

lolol, this is explains exactly how my year acts.

[Svecz]

I recall the first time I showed this song to my friend, I believe he replied "Oh man, she sounds hot" needless to say, I kinda wanted to punch him in the face.

[jakeisurpimp]

difference between Bikini Kill and a bucket of shit?

The bucket. :)

[DJSparkyA]

Ah punk rock, where the most mediocre and amateur songs can become popular just because of the (poorly worded) sentiments behind them.

[AndreaEatsRainbows]

@DJSparkyA Punk rock is cool because fuck you, that's why.

[tinaann242]

@AndreaEatsRainbows LOVE LOVE LOVE this.

[PhoenixMacabre]

@DJSparkyA And you believe you do any better as a fucking D.J.? Bull shit, shut the fuck up, fuck off, and go find some teenage girl to have some rapist sex with. A fucking D.J. talking shit, seriously?? Fucking low-lives of music think they get an opinion on what real artists do...

[DJSparkyA]

@PhoenixMacabre This name was chosen by someone else several years ago. It means nothing. Next argument please...

[PhoenixMacabre]

@DJSparkyA That's what I would say if I was ashamed of myself too. Good luck with all that denial.

[DJSparkyA]

@PhoenixMacabre Either you're kidding, or you're trying desperately to cover your tracks. Its okay, if I left a dramatic comment full of curses and emotion only to find out that I was talking complete bullshit the entire time, I'd try to deny it too...

[PhoenixMacabre]

@DJSparkyA What douche, other than a D.J. would tote that name around putting lame comments on good music?? Nobody, so sell your lies to people who are blind enough to believe them.

[DJSparkyA]

@PhoenixMacabre First of all, my comment was anything but lame. And 'good music' is subjective, so don't even bother with that. What a strange, sad little person you are, making such a big deal of an ad hominem thing which doesn't even mean anything. I think I know better than you that I'm not a DJ. Are you a macabre Phoenix? Thought not.

[PhoenixMacabre]

@DJSparkyA I am willing to bet that most of the people viewing these comments would have to agree with your comment being lame. Look, I do not go put nasty words onto the music I don't listen to, I don't visit your boy Justin Bieber's music and talk trash. I know it has to be hard being a D.J. and all, but try and leave that moronic attitude at the turntables, you know, don't act like a complete waste of carbon outside the clubs.

[DJSparkyA]

@PhoenixMacabre You truly are risible. Still think I'm a DJ? Jesus...look at my channel join date...it was years ago. The name means nothing, just like yours doesn't mean you're a macabre phoenix, dickhead.

I like the Manics, Joy Division etc, not bieber. Is that your natural defense? 'Aw noez someone dislikes my music! They must be a bieber fan'. Oh...and that proves your other point wrong. If I left a negative comment on one of his songs most of the fangirls would call it lame. Still be true.

[scorrectskinhead]

ok now get back in the kitchen.

[desrosiersxstewart]

i think kathlene actually wrote that song for joan jett <3

[tarbethia]

You people wanna be real rebels give me your parents money.

[TheLizardQueenMotion]

Fuck the patriarchy.

[stepherdavis]

Rebel Girl. We love you :)

[ScoopMcGillicutty]

I'm from Washington.

This makes me verrry proud.



[DeadFerYou]

rebel girl you are the queen of my world <3

[seraphincherry]

i was born in the wrong generation

[kidvanteh]

@seraphincherry so was i, so was i..

[jcAetiologyoKathexis]

@seraphincherry you were born at the right time...you can do the same...start your own band....start your own label...DIY...no better time than now!

[PukeInTheSky]

@seraphincherry Me too.

[MySupermario69]

@seraphincherry Me three :/

[helikestv]

@seraphincherry kids were saying the same thing in 1992 when everyone wanted it to be the 70's. look at it like this; if it was '92 again, you wouldn't have YouTube to watch this video whenever you want.

[PretentiousHousefly]

@helikestv Maybe where you lived, but when I was a kid in the 90's I wasn't hoping to be in the 70's and I don't know many kids my age that wanted to be either.

[weihoozie]

>womens rights

[ryangothy1]

grunge punk grrrllls revolution. fuck yeah

[665885]

China is so gonna need punk to fight for equal right. Bikini Kill ftw

[IAmTheUnknownPunk]

awesome video for that song

[nirvana19083]

the drums in the intro sound just like that stupid green day song know your enemy

[MirLjudima]

@nirvana19083 why do you even know how green day song sounds like? xd

[SBS336]

@nirvana19083 I was thinking more dandy warhols "not if y<ou were the last junkie on earth"

[PeaceLoveandMovies]

@cooliogurl999 if your opinions are that dense, keep 'em to yourself

[PeaceLoveandMovies]

RIOT GRRRRRRRRRRL

[rupazer0]

I love this redubbing of the Red Detachment with riotgrrrl music. Did Bikini Kill make this video, or is it grunjon's own?

[markustalin88666]

hahaha . n now shut up n sread your legs u stupid fucn lesbian cnt

[yeliwofthecorn]

It was pretty cool growing up in the middle of the riot grrrl scene. I enjoyed watching this band take off.

[metalgrungefan123]

@yeliwofthecorn i wish id been around then, right now we need anorther wave of feminism more than ever. seeriosly im a 15 yr old boy and i think we do so that must say something about today.

[chipmonk1995]

@metalgrungefan123 were on the losing end now why do you want more feminism

[metalgrungefan123]

@chipmonk1995 i want more feminism as i think that there is a lot of corruption in the media, especially music and tv which will only get a woman famous on mainly her looks, thats the way it seems to me, so i think there should be more openness in the media about not looking like a plastic model to be famous. im sure there are many talented not so attractive people who cant get signed due to their looks. also, what do you mran by "were on the losing end now"?

[chipmonk1995]

@metalgrungefan123 who gets the kids house and cash in a divorce? who's the bad "guy" in a situation c'mon have you not noticed this.BUT i do agree that not giving talented women a job based on look's is unfair and yes they should get the job i also agree with some other point's youve made but the world can be just as anti male at times so it kinda evens out.

[metalgrungefan123]

@chipmonk1995 very true, but i didn't mention those things as i did't think we were talking about family life for women or divorce. but i do agree, being a kid in a divorce as well i know what you mean. another thing as well, going back to music, its strange how rock has also become pop as well in some ways, for example, i know many justin beiber fans who also like paramore and fall out boy ect..., it sucks.

[chipmonk1995]

@metalgrungefan123 true bieber should stay out of rock fans minds

[metalgrungefan123]

@chipmonk1995 exactly, im going to form a punk band and just try and wake people up, o yea and if haley williams had heard this or L7 or something she'd probably explode

[chipmonk1995]

@metalgrungefan123 true lol good luck with the punk band thing hope it works out. ;)

[metalgrungefan123]

@chipmonk1995 lol thanks, i have the band, but the other people dont like this sort of punk, but ill sneak it in somewhere :)

[corbles]

sometimes I feel as if there is nothing fun in this world and then i hear this song and think, "oh what the hell, I'm a rebel girl" and I let my hair down and tear some shit up... all with the motivation of this song.

[sheherezade007]

Love it!!!! Rok ON!

[heyyouband]

hahaha HELL YEAH! Sweet song! I am looking for some inspiration for new songs and someone suggested I check out this band... and I'm glad I did....sweet! Way to pave the way for female singers!!!!!! I am a female singer in a new pop/punk/rock band called HEY YOU! If any of you BK fans wanna give it a try let us know what u think = )

youtube search: Hey You Band Taking Over (the one with the bunny)

[ThePieIsLie]

This video seems strangely fitting.

[MissAnglophile1]

@Gnarleypunkdude isnt that joke a little old? Maybe its time for a new one just a thought.

[Gnarleypunkdude]

ok now get back in the kitchen

[estoesesto4]

Yeah! Wandeful video classic!

[Laurenisadork]

@chargers4321 you better not be hahaha
