Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on July 20, 1969)

Happy birthday, Tobi Vail! From powerhouse Bikini Kill drummer to fearless DIY zinester extraordinaire, you're still revolutionizing the punk scene better than someone screaming into a garage sale mic. Your beats have fueled countless riot grrrl karaoke nights and basement rebellions—admit it; our dance moves are all your fault!

Thanks for keeping feminism fun and fury-filled through every zine you staple together (we know secretly glitter glue guns quake in fear at your sight). On this day—and always—we celebrate how incredibly lucky we are you've dared keep things beautifully loud, messy, and real. Punk will forever salute you!
