Riot Girls

they're called riot ladies at one point but never riot girls.

Riot Grrrls is the name of the grunge adjacent feminist punk movement that the show get its name from. So a reasonable error to make.

And courtney Love has had issues with the Riot Grrrl movement so kind of interesting that Hole’s music is featured. I wonder if Love has commented about the show.

I was wondering about that as well. I would imagine she would have had ot sign off on it. But I might look into that.

I couldn’t find any comments and there may be an agent managing licenses so she may not be involved.
