Roksista

Roksista refers to a female rock musician. The term is a portmanteau of "rock" and "suffix" -ista, a common suffix in many languages denoting a person associated with a particular field or ideology. While the term can be used broadly, it often implies a musician who plays a significant role in the rock music scene, potentially as a vocalist, instrumentalist, or songwriter. The emergence of the term reflects the increasing visibility and influence of women in rock music genres that were historically male-dominated. Female rock musicians have contributed to a wide array of subgenres within rock, from hard rock and punk to indie and alternative. Their presence has challenged traditional gender roles in music and broadened the creative landscape of rock. The term is generally used descriptively and does not carry inherent judgment or specific stylistic connotations, simply identifying a female artist within the rock genre.
