“Inspire Inclusion: Punk Rock Women Worldwide on International Women’s Day”
🎸🌟
Welcome to our punk rock radio show, where we crank up the volume and celebrate fierce, trailblazing women from all corners of the globe. Today, it’s not just about the music—it’s about inspiring inclusion. Let’s dive into our theme:
Punk Anthems by Women: Our playlist features punk anthems by women who’ve shattered barriers. From Patti Smith’s rebellious poetry to Poly Styrene’s unapologetic energy, they’ve carved their names into punk history. These women aren’t just part of the scene; they define it.
Riot Grrrl Resurgence: We’ll crank up the riot grrrl movement—where women screamed, strummed, and reclaimed their voices. Bands like Slant 6, L7, and Red Aunts ignited a fire that still burns bright. Let’s honor their legacy and keep the revolution alive.
Global Sounds, Local Vibes: Punk knows no borders. We’ll travel from Tokyo’s underground dives to London’s gritty stages. Discover the raw energy of Japanese punk queens like Shonen Knife, the blunt monotone cut of Australia's Courtney Barnett, and the fierce spirit of Brazilian punk with CSS. And right here in our city, Portland, Oregon, local punk queens are tearing it up.
DIY Queens of Stumptown: Portland’s punk scene pulses with DIY ethos. We’ll honor women who picked up guitars, wrote zines, and booked their own gigs at Black Water Bar and Twilight Cafe. Joan Jett, Exene Cervenka, and Roxy Epoxy—true punk warriors, both global and local.
Not Just Somebody’s Someone: Our slogan echoes through every chord. These women aren’t mere somebodies; they’re fierce, unapologetic, and essential. When women aren’t present, we ask: “If not, why not?” Let’s call out poor practice and take action. It’s time to inspire inclusion.
So, buckle up, fellow rebels! From the mosh pits of Dante’s to the airwaves of KBOO Community Radio, we celebrate punk rock women who refuse to be silenced. Turn it up, because this isn’t just a radio show—it’s a battle cry to keep lifting each other up. 🤘🔥
Remember, you’re not just somebody—you’re part of this punk revolution, whether you’re jamming in your garage or dancing at a local show. Happy International Women’s Day! 🎶✊
