Founded in the early 2000s as a niche trans erotica site, Grooby has since expanded into a multimedia brand that includes podcasts, live events, and now music-driven shorts. Spite is their first explicit foray into cover song licensing, and the choice of “I Love Rock and Roll” is no accident. Joan Jett herself—a queer icon who faced relentless industry sexism—embodies the same defiant spirit.
“We reached out to Jett’s team, not for permission but to share the concept,” says Steven Grooby, the brand’s creative director. “They sent back one word: ‘Finally.’ That greenlit everything.”
Erotica and anger have always been intertwined. The Japanese have a word, “tsundere” (cold outside, warm inside), but Western punk culture frames it differently: aggression as intimacy. When a GroobyGirls performer acts out of spite—spitting, snarling, tearing apart a “I Love Rock and Roll” poster—it is not merely a performance. It is catharsis.
Academic research into alternative pornographies (see: Porn Studies journal, 2019–2024) shows that trans and GNC performers often use musical cues and subcultural signifiers to signal safety and shared values to their audience. A Joan Jett needle drop in a Grooby scene is the equivalent of a secret handshake. It says: “We both know the mainstream hates us. Let’s have fun anyway.” GroobyGirls - Spite - I Love Rock and Roll - Sh...
This is the opposite of spite as malice. This is spite as community glue.
Mainstream culture is finally catching up to what GroobyGirls and punk rock understood forty years ago: authenticity sells, but only if it’s uncomfortable. Disney’s sanitized “rebel” characters don’t compare to a trans woman in a leather jacket, screaming “I Love Rock and Roll” out of spite at a world that still debates her right to exist.
The keyword you typed, broken and mysterious, is actually a perfect little poem. It reads like a set of stage directions for a revolution: Founded in the early 2000s as a niche
At first glance, the terms “GroobyGirls,” “Spite,” and “I Love Rock and Roll” seem to belong in entirely different universes. One is a well-known production entity in the trans-positive adult industry. The second is a raw, often misunderstood human emotion. The third is a classic rock anthem that has transcended generations.
But look closer. What binds them together is a single, powerful thread: defiance against the mainstream. This article unpacks how GroobyGirls, as a brand, has harnessed the energy of spite and the spirit of rock and roll to create a subculture where rebellion isn't just accepted—it's celebrated.

In the sprawling, neon-lit history of cultural appropriation and reclamation, few things are as satisfying as a middle finger wrapped in a power chord. Enter GroobyGirls—the digital platform known for celebrating trans, non-binary, and gender-diverse adult performers—and their latest, most audacious short film series: Spite.
The premise is deliciously simple. Take Joan Jett’s 1982 snarling cover of “I Love Rock and Roll,” a song already drenched in teenage rebellion. Strip away the sanitized karaoke versions. Then, invite a cast of GroobyGirls’ most unapologetic creators to perform it not as a singalong, but as a battle cry.
The result, currently going viral under the truncated hashtag #GroobySpiteRock, is a three-minute fever dream of sequined middle fingers, leather harnesses, and ex-lovers watching from the back of a dive bar.
