Usage notes[edit]

  • According to Joanne Gottlieb and Gayle Wald, the term was coined as a joke by Thurston Moore during the early 1990s to describe a wave of loud and aggressive female-fronted bands. Failing to understand Moore's humorous intent, and confusing it with the riot grrrl movement, the media picked up on the term.
