Chainsaw contains both print and doodles written in black pen, representative of how zines are a creative DIY effort that incorporates multi-media designs. The issue of Chainsaw shown above speaks about the frustration of girls who feel like they don’t fit in, including “girl[s]... homo[s]... dork[s]... the last kid[s] to get picked for the stupid kickball team.” They express their disconnection even in the punk scene whose whole purpose is to be a haven for counterculture. This is the big picture of the Riot Grrrl movement, the making of a punk scene for women who feel like the punk subculture excludes, overlooks, or fails to understand them despite its promise to accept all outcasts who speak truth about social justice. The authors of Chainsaw legitimize their frustration by pointing out that they’re doing the same thing as better known punk bands before them, like the Sex Pistols and the Creks by pointing out flaws in society and demanding change for their own wellbeing. Chainsaw claims its place in punk by reiterating the punk philosophy, that countercultural movements should be celebrated, respected, and used as a source of community.
