Bikini Kill is a pioneering riot grrrl band from Olympia, Washington, formed in 1990 and fronted by Kathleen Hanna. Known for their explosive live performances, provocative lyrics, and feminist activism, they challenged gender norms in punk rock and became icons of 1990s alternative music. Though they disbanded in 1997, their influence on punk, feminism, and DIY culture remains powerful, and the band reunited for tours beginning in 2022.
