Riot Grrrl
Riot grrrl is a feminist punk movement and music scene that emerged in the early 1990s in the United States, centered around Olympia, Washington, and Washington, D.C. It blends the raw immediacy of punk and hardcore with explicitly feminist, anti-sexist, and DIY politics, using zines, community organizing, and confrontational performance to challenge patriarchy in music scenes and society at large. Musically, it favors short, fast, and noisy songs, shout-sung vocals, and simple, forceful chord progressions, while lyrically addressing topics such as bodily autonomy, sexual assault, gender norms, queer identity, and scene politics.

Pop
Pop is a broad, hook-driven style of popular music designed for wide appeal. It emphasizes memorable melodies, concise song structures, polished vocals, and production intended for radio, charts, and mass media. While pop continually absorbs elements from other styles, its core remains singable choruses, accessible harmonies, and rhythmic clarity. Typical forms include verse–pre-chorus–chorus, frequent use of bridges and middle-eights, and ear-catching intros and outros. Pop is not defined by a single instrumentation. It flexibly incorporates acoustic and electric instruments, drum machines, synthesizers, and increasingly digital production techniques, always in service of the song and the hook.
