  • I love BK and was really into the Riot Grrl scene and was lucky to make it to a lot of these shows. Great footage but I wish she had come off as a little more articulate in the intro :/

  • what an annoying, stupid bitch. learn to be fucking articulate.

  • @2666ification you can suck her left one, frustrated old man

  • 'It's like duh. Ya know?'

  • Do you think the movie Hanna was named after Bikini Kill's Hanna?

  • hell yes

  • I love this bitches

  • they're not against men. they're just /for/ women.

  • SISTER SISTER WHERE DID WE GO WRONG

    TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK WE'RE DOING HERE

  • i love you kathleen..<3

  • @SlickBlueSkin1973 I could delete this ignorant, hateful comment, but I am going to keep it here to remind everyone of how unintelligent and unaware people really are in 2011. Thanks for being a shining example of stupidity.

  • @papajim76 why don't you go back to listening to nickelback?

    These girls opened a lot of young minds up and their music continues to do so today. I missed the whole riot grrl movement, but love finding new music from that era today. And with dickbrained comments like papajims I guess it gives just a tiny insight into what these women were facing up to everytime they got onstage. Long live riot grrl!! Bikini Kill would melt your face off papajim of the dickbrain clan.

  • This song ruined my expectations for women in school. I kept wondering why so few of them were this awesome.

  • Comment removed

  • @papajim76 You fucking sicken me. You are probably so closed minded you don't realize the message Kathleen is sending out with her lyrics. Maybe you wanted to hear something like Rhianna? Kathleen is golden. FUCK YOU & SUCK MY LEFT ONE.

  • you guys are reading to far into the subject. Listen to music, think music, breath music.

  • Young girls in revolt. How cool is that? I miss the 80s. Actually, I missed the 80s. Married and military life. Most of my adult kids were born in the 80s. I think I could do 1980 to 1989 again? A lot went on; you really need to see it twice.

  • How is the topic of porn relevant?

  • @Imogence It's a YouTube commentary. Someone could write,'Man is a butterfly in the highway of gunpowder storms...' and somebody will write back. 'Porn is a relevant topic' mentioned on some fluid of conscious diatribe; because we are watching 'loud, punk rock chicks'. I started to think 80s nostalgia, everybody gots a view... welcome to YouTube commentary. Get in free and either inspire or enrage? you choice. have a nice day.

  • sammich now

  • I wonder what everyone who gave thumbs up to USCreenwriter's comment would think if they knew she told me in a personal message that women go into porn because of a ''spiritual void''. Funny how it's not that easy to tell the sex-negative crowd apart from the reactionary religious crowd, is it?

  • Punk rock this pure and this good makes my balls tingle (I am a dude, sorry if that was uncouth but this shit is so LIVE). Fuck the pigs in whatever shape they come in :)

  • --- Owner of bikini kill vinyl LPs I love this band! ---Fuck "feminism!" that is a fucked up label! I am for FREEDOM - "feminism" is just a label birthed from "political correctness" which was created by the NAZI regime ---- I support individual liberty! I do not willingly place myself into a fucking label.

  • fucking love this song!

  • haha never gets old!

  • On every women-punk/hardcore-band video I went to, the top comments are about feminism. As far as i'm informed now, thanks to those comments, I'd say:

    FEMINISM IS JUST THE ONLY-GIRLS-VERSION OF THE GENERAL PUNK ATTITUDE!

  • @XxKEIxxROACHxX You're almost right there, but guys can be feminists too!

  • It's really fucked up because it fucks with your creativity always having to answer questions that are based on lies or some shit

  • how come like more like women arent in bands ? like er derrr

  • That awkward moment at the feminist picnic where it's realized that nobody made sandwiches.

  • That awkward moment at the feminist picnic where it's realized that nobody made sandwiches.

    

  • @polosandpearls I know they WANT to go into porn. My argument is that they WANT to go into porn because they're lacking in some other area of their life and the porn is a manifestation of that.

  • @USCreenwriter what happened was dirty daddy crawled into bed one night and she focusses her sexual anger, frustration, and all over uncertainty of her self into adult films instead going to a therapist and working through it,instead of saying:''im a beautiful woman, and deserve respect''she says:''the only way men are attracted to me is if i strip myself of my dignity,self-respect,and panties.''

  • wheres the 90s when u need it in this millenium???hehehe you tube...

  • BAHAHAH ' AND ITS LIKE...DUH."

  • I think women have it easier nowadays. I may be wrong but at least that's my impression. Therefore I don't think we need more feminism these days. It should all be about equality..

  • @Streif337

    Feminism is all about equality, though.

  • @Streif337 What the fuck do you think feminism is about? IT'S ABOUT EQUALITY

  • @Streif337 Feminism is about equality .....

  • @polosandpearls

    yes it used to be about equality. sadly modern feminism comes with a lot of inequality.

    like: you're supposed to serve in the army in some countries while women are not. you're earning the same amount of money although women do not have the same physical abilities that are needed to master the job and so on. It's not fair, it's not equal. and that's just the tip of the iceberg. it's not liberal and sophisticated to indulge in something that slightly turns into a new inequality.

  • LIKE LIKE IM A FEMINIST 

  • huggy bear and bikini kill <3

  • I don't understand all the negative comments toward helehe777. I don't think she meant that women should never ever become housewives. Without putting words in her mouth, I understood her comment to mean something more like this: women shouldn't give up their dreams because they don't think they can do anything else.

  • how they be in a band and wash the dishes at the same time?

  • all you guys hating on @helehe777 shut the fuck up shes just speaking her mind you assholes i wish woman were like that to

  • @heleje777 You do realise that all you're doing here is replacing the dominant male stereotype with your own, equally restrictive one, don't you? I'm a guy, and, when I have kids, i want to be the one to stay home and raise them. Surely, if a woman felt the same, they should feel liberated and confident enough in themselves to pursue that, even if it clashes with today's dominant s feminist stereotype.

  • @novareaetem: I think she's got a point. It's not like she's saying that EVERY man forces his wife to stay at home, it's just that there is an unfortunately large percentage of men in society that do. She's also not trying to enforce a particular regime, and, in fact, you seem to be agreeing with her in that her argument is that society should give women more of a choice than is available. The point being that any woman SHOULD be liberated enough even to admit that she wants to stay at home.

  • @heleje777 - if you're going to try to appear smart, while making some kind of inane public commentary, at least learn how to fucking spell you retard... 1. "I am a women" - you mean "woman" - singular, not plural; and 2. "pursuing there dreams" - you mean "their" dreams, you dunce.

  • @heleje777 I always thought that being a true feminism meant that a woman could do whatever she wanted; if she wants to b married & have 12 kids she was free 2 do that? That would b her dream; wouldn’t it b? I was in the navy; on the fire team & now I’m a proud mother; ideally I would have seven of them; being a woman & running my home has been more empowering than being in the navy; I run this ship. don't knock till you've tried it. 

  • i get it the band has peniseses and testicleseses. clever broads

  • @heleje777 Not a very feminist thing to say . . .

  • I don't think riot girls hate men or try to discriminate. They are just telling the truth and the terrible experiences they had with men. Punk-men talk about the queen dying and polices and whatever they hate, riot girls just feel that stress about their bad encounters with men. Don't blame them. They are just expressing themselves.

  • @1HedidthatShesaidit2 It should be bad encounters with bad spirits. There are bad men. There are bad women. There are good men. There are good women. To say man is unnecessary and regressive.

  • Like, I don't, fuckin', like, get why people, like, fuckin' say things like "stuff" and stuff, and like, fuckin' curse and shit, and then throw in the word "creative" to seem deep. In reality, you have no idea what you're talking about, and you're probably stoned, but you want everyone to think you're cool and smart.

  • @heleje777 Oh, and "whoring oneself" out (I assume you mean sexually, though that is as much "whoring" as trading in any other asset) is almost a wholly female power. The fact that you despise it says a great deal about much you respect women.

  • @heleje777 You mean, you hate that some women want something different in life to you? How supportive.

  • "...And it's like, duh... y'know?"

    I understand completely.

  • @kelsmart/heleje777 Both of your assessments of women today are brilliant. I totally agree.

  • Definitivamente suck my left one

  • I am so thankful for this band.

  • I don't understand why some men say they hate women, that we don't deserve to be able to work for a living, and that we shouldn't be allowed to do what we're capable of, and some women will actually let themselves associate with these douchebags.

    Also, having kids is one thing, being a housewife is another. A housewife is someone who does not earn money and lets a man take care of their needs. That's fucking pathetic and it's no way to live in this day and age.

  • @l33tlolly Please. Women go into porn because they're disillusioned and depressed and/or had something really messed up happened to them. Nobody grows up saying they want to be came on for money.

    It's fucked up. Please let's not pretend it isn't. That's part of the problem.

  • @USCreenwriter i agree its so sad to think women go into porn bcuz they have been fucked over emotionally or psychically by another human being who was so blinded by feeding his own pleasure or just taking his anger out on someone weaker them himself. all these poor girls once had values and meaning in there lives but decide to take the disgusting path of porn.

  • @USCreenwriter Oh yeah and men just go into porn for fun then right? What the fucks up with the double standard here? I'm sure there are a lot of women who go into porn because they WANT to. Stop making them out to be mental cases.

  • @USCreenwriter YOU.ARE.GOD.

  • @USCreenwriter Who made you the spokeperson for all women in porn everywhere? Being condescending abt the ''poor, poor women in porn'' doesn't help anyone! Human beings are complex. There's not a single reason why people would do smth, and you can bet there are women in porn because they fucking chose it. You don't know what a woman wants better than herself.

  • Comment removed

  • @USCreenwriter Apart from the fact that you're blatantly generalizing, some porn is actually quite good! And it's not all geared towards a male audience.There's a lot of porn made by women for women, both straight and gay. Are those women disillusioned and depressed too?! I don't see why so many women are fond of denying the fact that we have a sexuality. Let's face it, we all want to fuck as much (if not more) as the guys. And porn is just another harmless sex toy.

  • @USCreenwriter i think you overgeneralize a bit. small minds tend to do that.

  • @USCreenwriter

    I disagree with you. Maybe some, whether it's the majority or the minority, of women within pornography do so for these reasons you listed, but you cannot say ALL of them do. These are those individuals own subjective values and choices, and you by no means have any leg to stand on in judging them or making assumptions. What I suggest as the better choice is to support these people who chose to go into pornography, support them by listening to them or leaving them alone, or

  • @USCreenwriter

    whatever they may desire from you or anyone else. You could also offer them up other options, if they so chose to listen to you to begin with. And if they want nothing from you, then the only right choice is to keep quiet and pay attention to your own life and what you are doing with it.

  • @USCreenwriter the whole point is they do want the money so they swallow some cum for it because thier lazy.

  • @heleje777 Nothing wrong with being a housewife and having children.

  • More so than ever!?! Why are than not more women in bands!!!

  • @BettyBoatRocker this comment is very outdated... in this day they're PLENTY of women in bands... check it out.

  • @antigua26 I suppose I should have been more clear in my comment and added: Hard Rock, All Women, Non-Pop Mainstream Bullsh*t, and depressing, whiny girls don't count!!!

  • such a good fucking band!

  • Ok now get in the kitchen

  • Someone said the mark of a perfect pop song is whether or not you can imagine Elvis singing it. I'd like to hear Elvis do this.

  • Gayyy

  • @heleje777 Feminism is about women having a choice to do whatever the fuck they want. If they want to be housewives and mothers then that's their right. Just because you can't see yourself playing that role doesn't mean other women become less than when they choose to do so. If you haven't already, maybe you should pick up a book on feminism.

  • @ewicantbelieveit Holy only one person with a brain!

    so every one eles you missed it by a long shot go burn your bras...lol holy F@#%!

  • @ewicantbelieveit right on. like right fucking on.

  • @ewicantbelieveit perfectly said! theres NOTHING wrong with traditional roles AS LONG AS the woman chose it for herself, conciously and FREELY. its all about freedom of choice. Its anti-repression to CHOOSE to be a housewife. specially since that husband better be working his ass off to pay for EVERYTHING. Its a package deal. One takes care of the house that the other is paying for.

  • To those people saying how too many girls are in porn, or whatever.

    Kathleen Hanna used to be a stripper.

    FYI: A lot of people go into porn because they like it.

  • @L33tLolly but SHE was definitely not in it because she liked it but for the money.

  • @whitebigpolarbear BITCH!

  • @newrealization12 hey girlie !! my comment wasnt sexist,it was post modern irony.....if you dont know what that is ,well, dont you worry your pretty lil head about it peaches !!!!!

  • mmm could b worse. o ya rebel girl

  • mmm could b worse

  • current feminism isn't blaming men, you just aren't paying much attention

  • Comment removed

  • @heleje777

    And i hate women that degrade themselves and do porn, fucking for money doesn't take a special talent.

    These days there are millions of women all over the world that do that and how many housewife's you know these days?

  • (actually it's the other one but what a great idea to Say It With a Song..) :-)

    <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

  • It kinda makes me sad to see how women and men have the same potential (in terms of working ability and intelligence) to be whatever they want to be, a scientist, a well-know musician or some other sort of influential individual or role model... Yet there are way more men than woman who actually achieve this. Why?

  • Kathleen's been idol since lord knows when.

  • @monsterkittykat im not going crazy im just stating an opinion

  • Why dont bands like this become mainstream

    because i hate this genarations taste in music

  • @heleje777 woman are allowed to want to have kids and become a housewife, they are also allowed to follow their dreams, and allowed to "whole themselves out". that's whole mentality is just basically repressing womans sexuality. i know that was not your intention, but i think you should look into feminisim a little further.

  • @polosandpearls thank you thank you thank you took the words right out of my mouth

  • @DaedalusPrimrose kill yourself, now.

  • I swear to god I just typed in "suck my left one" and hoped for no internet porn!

  • That girl was kind of stupid 

  • @heleje777 What if it's THEIR dream to "poop out a bunch of kids"? Women need to stop being busybodies and saying "oh, don't have kids, follow your dreams.." MInd your own fucking business. Follow your own fucking dream and stop judging others'.

  • @heleje777 dude, that misogyny coming from you a woman, you should enforce positive dissociative action from the sexist norm instead of hating women for doing whats been implanted in them since youth. you know better now do better.

  • When I finally got into a band, i suggested we all trade intstruments after every song. This is what Bikini Kill used to do. The others thought I was crazy. "next idea" was the feeling there.

    But I really like that idea. The audience must know that they can't expect perfection then, and so all the bullshit is minimized.

  • kh gives me the chills every time.

  • @heleje777 putting all men with the label of "some asshole" well done...

    maybe i should just label all women as "some bitch" your comment contradicts itself by being both anti-sexist and sexist at the same time. congrats

  • was that attempt at a speech at the beginning a joke or meant to be serious??? coz if its serious she must be seriously retarded.x

  • @LivesUnderABridge hipsters? this is 94, fuckhead. and if you don't want your music to have a point, go turn on a television and shut the fuck up.

  • @SeagullTheFreegull

    You realize the word hipster has been in use since the 40s, right? And music I like does have a point, but it should speak for itself. I don't need to be spoonfed the message by some patronizing failure of a public-speaker.

  • @LivesUnderABridge afingmen

  • @LivesUnderABridge didn't know that, thanks for the trivia. and uhhh the music DOES speak for itself. that doesn't mean she can't TALK as well as sing. you're just trying to make yourself bigger by tearing someone else down, we all know your type.

  • @heleje777 I think more and more girls are realizing this! More are now choosing to be single, strong career women, than to settle down and be someone's cow. And I think it's because of our mothers, and our grandmothers. And just seeing them have to put up with so much shit from their husbands and having to suffer because of the choices they made when they decided to do the 'responsible typical' thing. Not everyone is cut out to breed.

  • @Indiegirl007 you are fucking boss<3.

  • @sissip77 I try. :P Lol. 

  • god i miss music! 1:10 were she first says suck my left one is so hardcore fuck yeah awsome!

  • 13 people can suck my left one!

  • Her voice is the sex, hands down.

  • This is my English teachers favorite song. She told me after wrote a paragraph about riot grrrl music/culture. I think I will definatly ace this class.

  • @MabelTheCable You have the best english teacher ever.

  • I LOVE U, KATHLEEN!!!

  • I just want to say this, cause like, like

  • Life stupid, they all become nazi conformist cheerleaders racing to their fucking graves worshiping the wage and sucking dick to these big corporate markets and calling that sucess because yo have piles and piles of green wads of paper that are n't anything. I don't care, if I end up dead, I'm never doing that shit!

  • Comment removed

  • @heleje777 I didn't know that babies came out of women's asses now

  • I love this song. I love Bikini Kill♥

  • @heleje777 thumbs fucking up. and i'm a dude.

  • me to

  • none of yous even dare say babes in toyland are like this crap ive been hearing this argument for ages o m g and i mean tat female style this aint good check out justin beaver he is so great wit a silent great hes only wanted dead but dont want to start acting mammy on yes r little discussions u are all bar a few ive read fairplay to yous, yes hav brains hard thing to come by nowaday

  • "False Start" goes well w/ this video from "Reject All American". Just realized.

  • why arent there more women in bands.... like DUH! sez it all. Fuck this male dominated society we live in. high heels, make up, thongs. PARENTS stop giving your little girls dolls and pink fragile things! who said getting dirty was just for boys. theres alot of fucked up shit going on in this planet. male oppression is one of the worst ones. by the way im a man.

    ya wanna make things better heres a solution CHECK OUT VENUS PROJECT.

  • @hobopopo6 A lot of girls like 'pink fragile things', are we meant to force them to play in the mud even if they don't want to, simply because of 'male oppresion'? My daughter can do what she wants; if she wants a pink room and to play princess then that's fine with me, and if she wants to play football then that's also fine with me. I'll let her be who she wants to be, not force her into some male stereotype because that's 'feminist'. It's about being able to do what you want whoever you are.

  • @Dannii2oo8 All due respect, do you know the reason why girls like pink fragile things, or boys like blue rougher things? its because were conditioned to, most girls love the fantasy of being a princess because thats the generic stereo type for girls "my little princess" and what not. with out being conscience about it most of you are doing it, the tv's doin it. heck mcdonalds and all the toys out there are doing it. lets not focus on blue or pink things lets focus on creating better human being

  • @hobopopo6 I'm not saying you are wrong, I'll just tell you that if things weren't that way, we would all be asexual and unwilling to reproduce. I realize it's the 21st century but seriously being a woman or man is the same as it has always been. always.

  • @ploaker54 and what authority do you have on this subject. just the same i could say we wouldn't be asexual but we would be more capable less oppressed human beings. by making a prison for the woman, man makes a prison for himself. i'le tell you there would be a lot more great, revolutionary, and genius people walking the earth because lets face it all the greatest actors, authors, filmmakers and minds have been MOSTLY men. coincidence? i don't think so. and im not saying ALL women,

  • @RobotHerd she would say

    "suck my left one"!

  • i wanna fuck this girl.

  • left what?

    tit?

    toe?

  • @Gazelle78Sideburns Left hemisphere of the brain...

  • I'm a guy and I think these guys fucking rock!

    Even though they should be in the kitchen making me a sandwich.

    JOKE.

    Please don't kill me.

  • @eroticplants You die twice. For making the joke twice.

  • I'm a guy and I think these guys fucking rock!

    Even though they should be in the kitchen making me a sandwich.

    JOKE.

    Please don't kill me.

  • Making sandwiches is the most oppressive activity possible even though I do it for myself everyday

  • I also spend a decent amount of time in the kitchen, my life must be hell

  • @dubified89

    I worked in a school kitchen for a year, not any school kitchen though, my old secondry school kitchen, as a lowly kitchen porter.

    THAT was hell. :P

  • So, am I not allowed to like Bikini Kill and Gaga?

    'Cus it seems that's what a lot of people think.

  • @sapph920

    Just like what you like! Fuck the haters. 

  • @sapph920 Love your username if it is about a certain poet? (wink) I think you can love who you like. We are all different.

  • Srsly people would you give a damn about their "music" if it wasnt for that feminism stuff? I mean theyre really bad.

  • @DerAntimensch I mean theyre really bad.-- You had to be there, experience the alternatives.

    Imagine some kid sitting around listening to Madonna's 'Borderline', this was refreshingly irritating.

    Kids today now have Lady GaGa, a product of her influences, which was total garbage.

  • @DerAntimensch haha yes i noticed that...she kind of...not the best singer...and the music overshadows her singing on album versions :s

  • I had a dream that i was at a bikini kill concert and my boyfriend fell asleep. lol what the fuck does that mean?

  • This is community. It's giving a shit about the world and people around you. What's so wrong with it? Oh, and where's your band?

  • Im a dude, dont really care about feminism, but love kathleen and her fuck you attitude. we need more chicks like this in rock. sadly, mainstream music has become soft and stupid.

  • SUCK MY LEFT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Kathleen has such a way with words, lol. She comes across as a total valley girl.
