When She Codes, The Revolution’s Coming
Is it just me, or is the title an allusion to the Biblical name 'Methusaleh' (meaning, when he dies, the flood comes)

The title is a reference to the song "Rebel Girl" by the seminal Riot Grrrl band Bikini Kill.

"seminal", huh. I doubt whether they would take that as a compliment.

Nothing 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.
