Unless I’ve got the concept of feminism totally wrong, a story of a woman being the hero of her own story (her empowerment) is the textbook definition of a feminist story.
You realize this is about a real 14 year old girl, right? I doubt she found the rape or the song particularly empowering even if Kurt embellished a little bit to make her seem more clever.

It was “inspired” by the real life event, but Cobain made it his own by making the character outsmart her captor (See my edit.) (In real life, it was less a clever ruse and more so that the victim escape while being transported by truck.)

Ok, man. Sure. Polly is a feminist anthem. "we can escape rapists all on our own"

I’m willing to drop this discussion because you’re starting to use straw men.
I never said it was an “anthem,” just that it incorporates feminist themes.

What you actually said was just as silly.

Lollapalooza in 93 and 94
Lollapalooza '96 in Nola with Metallica, Soundgarden, and Rage was the absolute baddest fricking concert I ever went too. Whole place was jumping when rage hit the stage.

I was at this show too. Probably the greatest show I’ve ever been to pound for pound per the entire lineup. It was just insane.

The HBO Max documentary is terrible. It's a 2-hour lecture on white rage and #metoo.

I was 20 in 99 so right at the age of the kids at Woodstock 99 and that's not how I remember the feel of that period at all. Sure, there were some shitty bands but there was a lot of positive energy at that time too. I just don't recall anger as being the prevailing mood among most of the people I knew.

The spirit of that event couldn't be any more opposite from the original Woodstock.

I lived in upstate New York that summer and didn't even consider going.

Were the off hours one of those things (like Mardi Gras) where it looks like absolute chaos but actually had a reasonable amount of order? Or was it just whatever and deal with it?
So hard to wrap my head around.

I just watched this documentary. I knew it got wild, but I didn't realize just how insane it got. Women being raped, a riot broke out, people set shite on fire.
I was sort of confused because according to this board, that's behavior only black people do.

I remember it being crazy, but a reasonable amount of order. Safer than Mardi Gras for sure. The last night (after the shows were over) might have been different but we were already on our way back.
