Is it just me, or is the title an allusion to the Biblical name 'Methusaleh' (meaning, when he dies, the flood comes)

- sgrossman 15y agoThe title is a reference to the song "Rebel Girl" by the seminal Riot Grrrl band Bikini Kill.
- Drbble 15y ago"seminal", huh. I doubt whether they would take that as a compliment.
- sgrossman 15y agoNothing sexual was implied by my comment, though I do see how the word is problematic. "Seminal" is so frequently used to describe early and influential bands in punk, including Riot Grrrl, that the etymology is rarely considered.
