Gordon and her contributions in Sonic Youth are considered by critics and music scholars to have been key influences in the development of [[grunge]] music and [[riot grrrl]], both musical movements which began in the early 1990s.<ref name=after/>{{sfn|Strong|2016|p=109}} Among those who have cited her as an influence are filmmaker [[Sofia Coppola]],<ref>{{cite journal|journal=Bust|url=https://bust.com/movies/192978-sofia-coppola-cover-story-2011.html|title=Sofia Coppola Interviewed By Kim Gordon: From The BUST Archives |date=June 2017 }}</ref> musician [[Kathleen Hanna]], and Irish singer [[Róisín Murphy]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2009/may/10/roisin-murphy-shows-dramatic |title=Roisin Murphy on making shows dramatic|location=London|date=May 10, 2009|last=Murphy|first=Roisin|work=The Guardian|access-date=October 31, 2015}}</ref> Hanna explained in 2013:

<blockquote>She was a forerunner, musically. Just knowing a woman was in a band trading lead vocals, playing bass, and being a visual artist at the same time made me feel less alone. As a radical feminist singer, I wasn't particularly well liked. I was in a punk underground scene dominated by hardcore dudes who yelled mean shit at me every night, and journalists routinely called my voice shrill, unlistenable. Kim made me feel accepted in a way I hadn't before. Fucking Kim Gordon thought I was on the right track, haters be damned. It made the bullshit easier to take, knowing she was in my corner.<ref name="Lizzy" /></blockquote>
