This month’s NPL anniversary offers up another playlist mystery: I’m a Dork by Bikini Kill.

There is no trace of a BK tune by that name. However, the legendary Bikini Kill #2 ’zine from 1991—famous for the first use of the phrase ‘girl power’—also featured some deep thoughts on dorky cool. A Riot Grrrl manifesto flyer created by Kathleen Hanna also urged us to embrace our inner dork.

If any of our sharp followers have another lead on this riddle, please share!
