Is it G-R-R-L or G-R-R-R-L?
Question overheard this afternoon during a librarian's presentation about the Barnard zine collection (topics discussed: DIY culture, punk rock, librarians and zines, riot grrl and its influence, the issues of preserving and cataloging ephemera, etc.):
"Is it RIOT G-R-R-L or G-R-R-R-L?"
(I seem to remember this question being a debated issue in whatever I was reading as an Albuquerque outsider in the 1990s--like three R's were sellouts or vice versa? Or is that an imagined style guide/ anti-normalizing, anti-style guide debate? And yes, it's funny to me that style guide and distribution/preservation/cataloging issues related to riot grrl are what fascinate me now...)
