"Thank Goddess* For Riot Grrrl"

"Punk boys can be just as macho and bro as the bros themselves... ... everyone claims to be so against the state, and they claim to do whatever the fuck they want... But really, the power relations between the state and the people play out in the very relations between guys and girls in the scene. How punk guys carry their own privilege and power into the basic act of sex (and even in how they relate to each other as people), and oppress women by silencing them and using them. The girls don't see them as allies, but as oppressors in their own scene.

Thank goddess* for riot grrrl."

Christ, This Hurts the Eyes

The colours, the camera-cuts, the garish attires and hairstyles. Combined with the piercing feedback and overlapped shouting and yelping, this whole video makes for one angsty, dizzying head-trip - in many ways, sensory overload of the best kind.

The psychedelic punk freak-out doesn't stop with Huggy Bear. Here's Daisy Chainsaw, in their even more snarling, manic, cross-dressing, pink-boa-flaunting glory. Embedding has been disabled on this video, so click here to check them out.

These videos seriously look like episodes of Uh-Oh!
