Riot Grrl is a feminist punk movement, which inspired not only us, but the artist herself, Peaches. Where bands such as Bikini Kill, The Runaways and Bratmobile. Where female punk bands sang about taboo themes and shocked the public. It also relates to third wave feminism, which means there are many different types of women in the world and we should all be equally respected. Peaches herself sings about controversial issues which arent appealed to a mass audience and create quite a shock to the public. As we were using a peaches song, we wanted to re-create this. Keeping the riot grrl movement strong, and create a female dominant, controversial video. By using a girl band, connotes girls working together, and being a community, rather than one iconic female. We don't represent a girl band, but women all over the world. We didn't want people to just watch this video and enjoy it but give a serious meaning and give girls the courage to be themselves and feel they are strong individuals, which we hope we have acomplished.
