A nice, succinct summary of punk, Badkitten!

I feel this short documentary below, featuring Vanessa Briscoe, is excellent, since it shows how she was just a regular person who sang. I'm fascinated by how her gentle, slow speaking voice with its Southern accent transforms into energized shout-singing on stage. Even she says she doesn't recognize her voice in recordings of her former band, Pylon!

It's a bit sad though. Her life has had periods far removed from music and she says in the video that at the time her job was to make copies (at a xerox store). The demise of bands and how they fall apart interests me, since it shows how music really is a performance art and without all these recording machines, it would just fade away immediately, gone forever.

I'm too lazy to see if Brody Dalle was mentioned, but she's definitely got a sexy gravely voice. I am still very much in love with her.

I do not know, maybe Courtney Love, but if you are not a new one so probably as close as Hayley Williams, Paramore, even though shes most pop-punk and Lacey Fly leaves shes amazing.

Ari Up of the Slits is a personal favourite. Kathleen Hanna of Bikini Kill/Le Tigre fame is also a legend.

Kim Gordon exemplifies the punk spirit better than any woman I've seen who plays in an 'actual punk band!!!'.
