I would say yes, because the punk aesthetic has always involved a DIY attitude and political motivations, going back to The Clash and Siouxsie Sioux. Punk music has provided an outlet for people to associate with, generally these people feel some sort of disconnect from societal norms which leads to the stereotype of the rebellious teen who is too influenced by punk music. Be it left-wing, anti-corporatist, feminist, counter-cultural, etc etc punk bands represent all sorts of "underground" movements, and fringe socio-political movements (at least, originally fringe. Obviously feminism isn't a very fringe thing anymore). So, from that perspective I would say yes, punk needs feminism and feminism needs punk because they are born of the same idea - that inspiration and social change (even on a local level) can be encompassed by music, and that music provides an area where disenfranchised people can be represented. Hey, mk, I'm not seeing a hubwheel on this submission, are you? Thanks to whoever tagged this "grrrlski", however, the more used tag is #grrlski.
