Kathleen Hanna on Katy Perry, Kesha and Lady Gaga

The original riot grrrl on Katy Perry, '90s revival


CNN: What do you make of singers like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Ke$ha who are seemingly touching on themes of gay empowerment in their music, but for some reason it doesn't quite resonate?

Hanna: I mean, is it really that different when it's a skinny white woman in a bathing suit singing these things? None of these women ever wear pants, first of all. Second of all, just because you're wearing a goofy hat doesn't make it performance art. I mean, that's just my feeling about it. A lot of the music just sounds like bad Euro disco, though that first Ke$ha song "TiK ToK" was good. But (Katy Perry's) "I Kissed a Girl" was just straight-up offensive. The whole thing is like, I kissed a girl so my boyfriend could masturbate about it later. It's disgusting. It's exactly every male fantasy of fake lesbian porn. It's pathetic. And she's not a good singer. I don't want to trash other women. I mean, I think Jason Mraz is horrible. It's not just like I hate other women performers. Jason Mraz, and the new James Blunt song is the worst thing that has ever been created on the face of the Earth.

It's called confronting the patriarchy, you fool.
tryxkittie 9th-Jun-2011 12:56 am (UTC)
yes it is. Cuz it's not something you can just wash off when convenient, like Katy Perry's ~dangerous and 'inspirational' engagement with homosexuality~
fuckyess 9th-Jun-2011 01:20 am (UTC)
if ANYONE else was doing it, yes, this would be ontd's general response

but because it's someone important to their ~womyn agenda~ it's cool and how dare you for making fun of it

Courtney Love punched her out in the 90s for being a cunt. That's all you need to know.

a legend quite honestly for women musically. How female expression in popular music has been pushed to 1950's style safe zones should scare everyone under 30 honestly. The revolution seemed almost mainstream by the end of the 90s... :|

From the first time I ever heard 'I Kissed A Girl', I was like 'oh, hell, please let this idiot fade away after one song'. Hell did not oblige.
gangsterdorothy 9th-Jun-2011 02:41 am (UTC)
When I was living out in LA, KROQ started playing 'I Kissed A Girl'. I called them up and said 'excuse me, do not play this shit on my rock station'. It was the first time I legit called up a radio station to complain.

I think he sounds better live than on CD imo. He hits every note so perfectly.

But it's to be expected, most of ONTD seems to be collectively sheltered and 17.

IKR WTF. I was too young to appreciate it when it was in full swing but I'd think once you reach puberty you'd enlighten yourself.

tx5mym5 9th-Jun-2011 03:51 am (UTC)
I have to agree, but it's more a reflection or pop culture and ONTD stan culture.
akasha6915 9th-Jun-2011 04:50 am (UTC)
It's annoying and sad. Pretty much ONTD doesn't care unless it's shitty pop music and I like shitty pop music, but at the same time I know who the fuck this is and her music. If you like anything other than pop, you're indie and pretentious.
chiaki95 9th-Jun-2011 07:43 am (UTC)
How the fuck I am supposed to know about Riot Grrrl ???


I'm not fucking american !

And to some folks that have replied so far.. you don't have to be American to know about Riot Grrrl
Just saying.
myraisgod 9th-Jun-2011 12:46 pm (UTC)
It was big when I was 13/14 and I'm 28 right now, so I understand why some people don't know what it is. But everyone should definitely learn about it!
aleronihead 9th-Jun-2011 02:45 pm (UTC)
I'm 30 and while I've heard of Bikini Kill in passing (never cared for what I heard) and know about riot grrrl in a general sense, I had no clue who this woman was or that she was associated with either. But the fact so many posters insinuated that anyone who doesn't know her is willfully ignorant has really rubbed me the wrong way.
freeze_i_say 9th-Jun-2011 06:06 pm (UTC)
I agree
