“Why do you need new bands? Everyone knows rock attained perfection in 1974. It's a scientific fact.” Homer Simpson once said, his carpool soundtrack a strict Grand Funk Railroad regimen washed out by Bart and Lisa’s backseat groans.

The 90s saw the form reach its zenith, as they circulated widely amongst participants in the Riot Grrrl movement, giving a platform to frustrations and personal narratives of experience that couldn’t be found elsewhere.
