Around 1992/1993 I started hearing the term "riot grrrl": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riot_grrrl
It was not so much a music style as a political, feminist movement that worked through multiple outlets--music, fanzines, art, political action. While I wasn't as fond of the music of the riot grrrls as that of other contemporary girl rocker bands like Babes in Toyland or L7, I admired their purpose.
This one was used in a recent pro-Hilary Clinton youtube video that went viral during the primaries until former BK member Tobi Vail issued a copyright infringement notice--I believe she was a Sanders supporter.
