The annoying chick bouncing around in the Bull in the Heather video?
 

Who is she?

As a side note, I'm pretty pissed at VH1 Classic. They played this video last time they aired The Alternative. It was one of the first times I've caught SY on it. I just did a search for the show over the next week and it isn't airing. They've been cutting back on this show for the past 6 months, but now it looks like it's been taken out of the rotation completely. This burns my ass mightily.

Kathleen Hanna.

Thanks. Is she a musician? Just a friend, maybe? I will do a wikipedia search for her.

She was in Bikini Kill and now in Le Tigre.

I think she's cute

And annoying.

She is cute. She is annoying, too.

i think shes beautiful

What's annoying about her? It's a music video. But Le Tigre fucking SUCKSUCKSUCKSUCKSUCKSUCKSUCKSUCKSUCK.

She's someone who discovered fun too late in her life and that's annoying about her.The thing is,there is nothing wrong with that but presenting an ancient synth as the idea of 'modern' fun and make a career out of it is indeed annoying.Le Tigre have some good tunes but,overall,the idea of them sucks indeed.I express my opinion and you express yours.That's how it goes.

I've got nothing wrong with old synths, in fact, I much prefer them. I just find Le Tigre to be filth, overall. Bikini Kill were pretty good, but when put against what Kathleen would become, they were fucking gods.

Bikini Kill were fantastic, Le Tigre are very good.

I LOVE Kathleen Hanna.

I LOVE Kathleen Hanna.

She is sexy and writes great music and boys hate her because they're scared of her.

And she has a GREAT voice.

What's not to love:

 

Ah, the swa(y) doth protest too much, methinks.

I am not scared of her, and while I definitely think she is attractive, I have always found her voice to be annoying and her music to be either irritating or forgettable. Bikini Kill annoyed me less than Le Tigre (who I find supremely annoying), but on the whole I found BK to be pretty boring musically and fairly one-dimensional to boot.
I don't see her as a "toned down Courtney Love" though; I think I'll give her a little more credit than that, but they both make music that has never done anything for me on any level.

Get the facts right. At the time she virtually started riot grrl, she was a stripper. There may or may not be something to criticize there, but at least get it right. Since riot grrl was about females using their sexuality the way they wanted, there's really no conflict between the two things. These days she doesn't claim to be either.

No, Courtney Love is basically a junkie who copped Kathleen's act a long time ago.

Beautiful girl, decent music, but comes off as dumbbbbbb.

If you realize it, why did you say different? If my facts are wrong, why do you realize them?

I'm hardly going to spend any time defending riot grrl (though I'll give them the benefit of spelling it the way they did). Kathleen was one of the originals, so she started it as much as Nomy or any of the rest of them. My wife went to one of the original meeting, but decided it wasn't her thing at all. I'd leave it to one of them (if they weren't decades older and moved on) to debate whether they just gave a punk rock face and new name to a "pre-existing feminist movement" or not. It wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing if that's all it was as at the time it sucked a lot more to be a punk rock girl than it does today, and they probably deserve some credit for inspiring those changes. But then so do Poison Ivy, Kim Gordon, and Joan Jett as none of this stuff exist in a vacuum.
