Lazy journalism seems to be responsible for “girl/grrl” variations.- Kathleen Hanna, singer for Bikini Kill, states that the name “riot grrrl” was inspired in 1991 by the Mount Pleasant riots in Washington, D.C.: “During that time, Jean Smith [...] said something like, “We need a girl riot, too.” [...] Allison and Molly from Bratmobile [...] heard this and said, "we’re going to start a fanzine called Riot Grrrl.” — Marion Leonard, Cool Places, pp. 102–103, 1998
- Even The Spice Girls’ glib appropriation of the riot grrrl slogan as “Girl Power” was vaguely empowering five year olds in the schoolyard. — John Robb, The Nineties, p. 120, 1999
