It may or may not be surprising to find out that both terms Kinderwhore and Riot Grrrl originated with Kurt Cobain.Kurt came up with the band name Amy Carter and the idea for the fanzine "I [Heart] Amy Carter:. The band members consisted of Tammy Rae, Kathleen Hanna, and Heidi Aborgast.
Kurt and I had been discussing the fact that the former U.S. President Jimmy Carter happened to be from my mother's home state of Georgia. Pres. Carter's fourth daughter's name was Amy Lynn Carter. (This is where the stagename for Amy Lynn Lee Hartzler originated as well as from my name being Amy Lee.)
In 1991, Nirvana released the song On A Plain which was a reference to Pres. Jimmy Carter's hometown of Plains, Georgia.
