intro
from Bikini Kill: Girl Power (Issue #2)
Three of my best friends are in the band BiKiNi KiLL and we made this fanzine together, and we all play music together. And sometimes this is all very hard cuz this world doesn't teach us how to be cool to each other and so we have to teach each other.
A belief in instant revolution is just what THE POWERS THAT BE want. That way we won't realize that WE ARE THE REVOLUTION. It'll look so hard and distant and far off, someday, someday, that we won't even try to enact it right now.
Cuz we have to fight the powers that be no matter how fucked up we are ourselves. And I guess that's what this fanzine's about. We are trying to figure out how we can do these things, enact the revolution right here and right now, and still survive.
Cuz we do need music that we understand and we do need friends that love and support us and we do need to have fun. But fun doesn't have to mean denial and escapism, it can mean struggling, confronting, trusting, and being scared sometimes, together instead of always alone.
