The Songs On Netflix's 'Moxie' Soundtrack Will Fuel Your Solo Dance Parties

In Moxie, Netflix's newest teen movie, a quiet high school girl named Vivian (Hadley Robinson) starts a feminist revolution at her school by starting an old-school zine. Vivian is inspired by her mother, who spent the 1990s as a rebellious riot grrl. But Lisa isn't the only '90s-era inspiration in the film. The songs on Netflix's Moxie soundtrack are also a tribute to the riot grrl era in a big way.

Moxie may be a coming-of-age film, with a cast led by Robinson, Alycia Pascual-Peña, and Lauren Tsai, but the A-list name everyone will recognize is Amy Poehler, who plays Vivian's mother, Lisa. Poehler was the one who optioned the source material for the film — a novel of the same name written by author Jennifer Mathieu — through her company Paper Kite and also directed it. But in the press notes shared with Elite Daily by Netflix, Poehler admitted she wasn't a riot grrl herself in the 1990s. (She said she wasn't "cool enough.") But the music from the era inspired her in making this film, as did the artists in the riot grrl movement.

"At the time, those musicians were really influential because they were like a soundtrack for our collective suppressed rage, and they just rocked," Poehler said in the press notes. "Kathleen Hanna of Bikini Kill, who helped us a tremendous amount by providing music for the film, was a huge part of that."

Not that the soundtrack is all '90s jams. There's also plenty of newer artists, including Princess Nokia and more recent punk acts like The Linda Lindas.
