For a 60y old punk rocker like me it's heart warming .. Thanks!

Kathleen belted this song out with her band The Julie Ruin in Berlin a few years ago. I was down the front! I swear, I turned back into my 17-year-old riot grrrl self and danced and sang my face off!

WTF! I did not expect to see Bikini Kill on The Late Show. Didn't even know they were still around. That's rad. Have an old tape with some of their songs in my car right now lol.

When I was 14 i never thought I would be watching bikini kill on late night 😂😂

[SarahMThompson-ml]

I’m literally replaying that’s over and over. I am so happy to hear this song. I’m a 43-year-old punk, rocking single mother.

[Goatchild]

Classic tune. This proves it’s literally NEVER too late as long as you’re alive
