context_page_description: The following is a list of notable bands associated with riot grrrl from the early 1990s to the present, mainly in the USA and UK.
  NB: some of these bands significantly pre-dated the original riot grrrl era, while others may be more accurately categorized as grunge - see also 'foxcore', alternative rock, hardcore, garage punk, queercore, post punk/no wave, digital hardcore or indiepop.
  Other bands did not identify with riot grrrl during its first wave of the early 1990s but became associated via personal and artistic connections, or by fans and/or the media due to aesthetic and genre similarities. On the same basis bands continue to be associated with or self-identify as riot grrrl up to the present day. However, the problematisation of riot grrrl, and of its status as music genre, have led to the label being disputed.
  A list of notable bands that specifically self-identified as riot grrrl during the initial early 1990s period would be very small, potentially including only Bikini Kill, Bratmobile, Heavens to Betsy, Excuse 17, Emily's Sassy Lime and Lucid Nation in the US, and Huggy Bear, Linus, Pussycat Trash and Skinned Teen in the UK.
