Gonna be red.

It's gonna be red.

Ooh!

Giving me a flier at a show...

...handing it to me and smiling at.

...me, that's as much of the way

Kathleen communicates as when.

...she's on stage, singing

really powerful lyrics.

It was so great, you know?

She just presented all

of that, like, "kapow!

Here I am, and I'm gonna talk

like this, and I'm gonna sound.

...like a valley girl, and what I'm.

...gonna say is actually totally.

...brilliant, and you have

to take me seriously. "

I got a valley girl accent.

...from "the valley girl handbook,"

...and me and my best friend,

Angela cheever, we lived in.

Maryland, and we desperately

wanted to be the kind of girls.

who had credit cards.

I think we thought it made us.

...sound like we were, like, rich.

We thought it was

like a posh accent.

It goes to show that you can.

...be just, like, you know, I don't.

...know, some valley girl, and you

still can be smart and have.

...feminist ideas, and you still

should be listened to.

It was an exciting moment for.

...a lot of young

women, especially.

It was speaking to women and

wanting to connect with women.

And that I think is why the.

...intervention of bikini

kill was really necessary.

It was, like, basically

me and Tobi and Kathi.

We're like, "we're gonna take.

...over the punk rock

scene for feminists. "

You hold me down

you hold me down

like a magnet

She was, like, by, for, and.

...about women... Her

thing, their thing.

But they had Billy.

He was a boy.

But he was like... All boys

around her were kind of just...

"we kind of need you

to do some sh*t.

So, will you just do the sh*t,

'cause we are doing the top. "

I've got the love

that's strong and not weak

I've got the love that's

strong and not weak

I've got the love that's

strong and not weak

I've got the love that's

strong and not weak

Kathleen was very clear

and didn't hold back.

This is for all the f***ers.

She was just screaming

at the top of her lungs.

There were veins sticking

out of her neck.

Don't you need you

to say we're good

don't need you

to say we suck

don't need your protection

don't need your dick to f***

whaa

It was the first time I'd sen

a woman on stage completely.

...angry, aggressive, doing stuff.

...that you kind of see guys

do, and it was amazing.

Somebody had to be bikini kill.

Like, it had to happen, or else.

we'd have all starved

to death culturally.

It had to happen, and

there they were.

Girls to the front... That is.

...the thing that never

happened before.

Men could be in the room, but.

...men could never

dominate the room.

It was a flip of the script

that blew people's minds.

All of that incredibly rich stuff
