"Girls to the front! All the boys be cool, for once in your lives," Kathleen Hanna coolly purrs unto her mic. She's the titular punk singer in this doc about how she bulldozed the male-dominated scene with Bikini Kill. Featuring talking head appearances by Adam Horovitz, Tavi Gevinson, Carrie Brownstein, and Kim Gordon, you learn everything from how zines mentioned feminism and punk rock in the same sentence to how Hanna became the poster girl for riot grrrl --whether she liked it or not.

4. Lost Grrrls: Riot Grrrl in Los Angeles. Most people think of the Pacific Northwest or D.C. when they think of riot grrrl. Yet its waves reached LA too. This short observes the diverse feminist punk culture's impact in LA, specifically the bands that came up in Long Beach, Huntington Beach, and Orange County. To name a few: Red Aunts, Oiler, Fleabag, The Makeshift Conspiracy, Bonfire Madigan. It also addresses the reputation of early incarnations of riot grrrl as the preserve of white middle-class girls. You hear from people of color, LGBT activists, and animal rights activists, all of whom reclaim the scene. If you don't get inspired by the words of these motivated women, maybe check your pulse. #riotgrrrlfilm #riotgrrrl Taken from @dazedmag Your Essential Guide to Riot Grrrl Films words by @oliverlunn

3. All Over Me. Who's coming out story involves this film? ::raises hand:: "In a world that expects you to fit in, sometimes you have to stand out." Director Alex Sichel's lesbian love story set in NYC isn't explicitly about riot grrrl. Yet it has the movement written all over it. Sichel initially received a grant to make a film about the riot grrrl scene that would "fuse the do-it-yourself ethic of punk rock with in-your-face feminism". But when the director's sister Sylvia stepped in as writer it became less about the scene and more about the relationship between two 15-year-old girls who live on opposite sides of a park in Hell's Kitchen. Then of course there was the soundtrack stuffed with riot grrrl bangers, boasting Babes in Toyland, Sleater Kinney, The Amps, and Helium. #riotgrrrlfilm #riotgrrrl #alloverme Taken from Your Essential Guide to Riot Grrrl Films @dazed words by @oliverlunn @leisha_h @marytimony

4. Don't Need You - The Herstory of Riot Grrrl, 2006. Don't Need You traces the origins of riot grrrl in Olympia and Washington D.C. Kathleen Hanna, Corin Tucker, and others talk about the role of feminism in the movement, while Ian MacKaye remembers how girls were driven away by violence in the male-dominated DC scene. Madigan Shive from Tattle Tale chimes in, remembering how girls were left holding the boys' jackets in the corner and were even called 'the coat-hangers.' Featuring Bratmobile, Bikini Kill, and Heavens to Betsy, this is about the female creatives that carved out their own space. As one zine put it: "Us girls crave records and books and zines that speak to US, that WE feel included in and can understand in our own ways."

Sit tight, riot grrrls. It's time for another countdown. #riotgrrrl #riotgrrrlfilms
