This episode of Pop Culture Graveyard takes a deep dive into bikini kill history, to talk about all the brilliant music the band produced. Through the band's music and lyrics, we'll break down exactly what made Bikini Kill so important, not just to the Riot Grrrl movement, but to music in general. Bikini Kill's Kathleen Hanna, Tobi Vail, Kathi Wilcox and Billy Karren, created timeless punk rock whose message is still relevant today. Let me know your favorite Bikini Kill song!

Here is the full New Radio 7" release produced by Joan Jett and Kenny Laguna. Every song here is awesome, including the very best studio version of Rebel Girl. Every movement needs an anthem, and Rebel Girl is that anthem for Riot Grrrl:

Here is Capri Pants, off the band's final album, which deals with Kathleen's relationship with Adam "Ad Rock" Horovitz. Can you hear that Stooges' Raw Power energy in the opening?
