Growing up with her father in a punk band, Jasmine has been familiar to how the music scene works in terms of which gender gets the most limelight. Especially in as loud and bold of a genre as punk, women were originally drowned out amongst the chaos. 

​

       That was the case until the subcultural movement of Riot Grrrl - with groups such as Bikini Kill, Bratmobile and the Gossip dominating the stages and creating a liberating trend of female punk. This helped to change the face of music forever.

​

       Unfortunately, especially for newcomers to the industry such as Jasmine, sexism at local venues is still rife and male bands are usually the most sought-after, but Riot Grrrl still exists today and will be an influence for decades to come.
