And I think that was one of the biggest impacts these books had on our generation ... kind of planting the seed of the idea that your friendships with other women were as important in your life as a romantic relationship might be down the line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On how '80s and '90s books barely talked about sex\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>YA books in the '70s were becoming franker about sex with authors like Judy Blume. And then, the return of the \"malt shop\" vibe plus the beginning of the AIDS crisis kind of added up to sex becoming completely absent from these books except in cases where someone would have sex once, come down with a fatal STD, and it would be a learning experience for everyone. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of these books were set up as a conscious corrective to the more freewheeling sexual attitudes of '70s YA. You know, now that sex was suddenly revealed to be so dangerous and have so many consequences that the previous generation hadn't been aware of, I think there was a conscious decision on the part of YA authors to say ... \"We're not going to depict this as something you can do lightly, or something that you should be doing at all.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On teen books in the '80s and '90s that dealt with difficult subjects, such as suicide or eating disorders\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was so much news—high-profile kidnappings of children, you know, injuries on playgrounds. People were suddenly very aware of how vulnerable children were, how much there was in the world that could hurt them. And I think that these books were a reaction to that understanding. So the message of all of them was ... Be careful. Don't talk to strangers. If you feel anything bad, you know, if you feel like you want to skip lunch today to be thinner, if you're feeling sad, tell your parents right away. Don't try to deal with it on your own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-107904\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-800x495.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-800x495.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-160x99.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-768x475.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-1020x631.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-1200x743.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-1920x1188.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-1180x730.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-960x594.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-240x149.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-375x232.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-520x322.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On these books lacking diversity\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These books were incredibly white. ... Even series of like the \"Baby-Sitters Club\" that had some characters of color were usually written by white authors. And I spoke to a few authors of color who had been working during this period ... and they told me they ran into, you know, tremendous institutional racism at publishers—people who told them ... \"We only publish historical novels about African-American teens\" or \"We already published a book this year with an Asian-American protagonist ... we don't have room on our schedule for another one.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the lessons she learned from the fiction she read as a teen\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even in a very fluffy book like \"Sweet Valley High\" there's an emphasis on making yourself happy. ... In books like \"Baby-Sitters Club\" or \"Sleepover Friends\" there's an emphasis on thriving and doing things that bring you joy, helping others, creating a community, seeing your ideas through. Those weren't really ideas I was getting at home, just because my parents were from a different generation.

And I think that was one of the biggest impacts these books had on our generation ... kind of planting the seed of the idea that your friendships with other women were as important in your life as a romantic relationship might be down the line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On how '80s and '90s books barely talked about sex\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>YA books in the '70s were becoming franker about sex with authors like Judy Blume. And then, the return of the \"malt shop\" vibe plus the beginning of the AIDS crisis kind of added up to sex becoming completely absent from these books except in cases where someone would have sex once, come down with a fatal STD, and it would be a learning experience for everyone. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of these books were set up as a conscious corrective to the more freewheeling sexual attitudes of '70s YA. You know, now that sex was suddenly revealed to be so dangerous and have so many consequences that the previous generation hadn't been aware of, I think there was a conscious decision on the part of YA authors to say ... \"We're not going to depict this as something you can do lightly, or something that you should be doing at all.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On teen books in the '80s and '90s that dealt with difficult subjects, such as suicide or eating disorders\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was so much news—high-profile kidnappings of children, you know, injuries on playgrounds. People were suddenly very aware of how vulnerable children were, how much there was in the world that could hurt them. And I think that these books were a reaction to that understanding. So the message of all of them was ... Be careful. Don't talk to strangers. If you feel anything bad, you know, if you feel like you want to skip lunch today to be thinner, if you're feeling sad, tell your parents right away. Don't try to deal with it on your own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-107904\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-800x495.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-800x495.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-160x99.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-768x475.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-1020x631.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-1200x743.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-1920x1188.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-1180x730.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-960x594.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-240x149.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-375x232.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/sweet-valley-high-520x322.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On these books lacking diversity\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These books were incredibly white. ...

That's due in part to \u003cem>Chilling Adventures of Sabrina\u003c/em>'s roots in the sunlit, kid-friendly, primary-color world of Archie Comics. (The Netflix series is technically an adaptation of a decidedly \u003cem>not\u003c/em>-for-kids Sabrina comic of the same name launched in 2014 from the publisher's Archie Horror imprint, which was written by series creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa with art by Robert Hack.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly epi-nasal are the \u003cem>Riverdale\u003c/em>-adjacent series' music cues, which: oof.

The happy fact that said young girl is played by \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em>'s Kiernan Shipka tells you a few things from the jump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, you're gonna be on Sabrina's side. Shipka is great here: The startling promise she showed on \u003cem>Mad Men \u003c/em>has matured into bona fide acting chops\u003cem>. \u003c/em>She infuses the character with a confident, self-assured strength; a headstrong desire to make her own choices; and a keen, grounded intellect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second, you're gonna \u003cem>stay \u003c/em>on Sabrina's side, even though, to be honest, she's ... a bit of a pill. That confident, self-assured strength spills over, from time to time, into \"Only I can save the day\" exceptionalism. That headstrong desire to make her own choices shades into stubbornness, and that keen, grounded intellect into know-it-allism. Shipka lets all that spilling, shading and nuance slosh around together, but she never loses us, because she locates an appealing vulnerability underneath the confidence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, neither she nor the character she plays is particularly funny. And when the series she's shouldering owes as much to \u003cem>Buffy the Vampire Slayer\u003c/em> as this one does (read: just a \u003cem>whole \u003c/em>lot), that absence is felt. (Later-season Buffy Summers was a dour drip, yes, but Sarah Michelle Gellar remained a deft hand with a quip.) The series, undaunted, shunts the much-needed humor off onto actors more at home with it, like \u003cem>The Office (U.K.)\u003c/em>'s Lucy Davis as Sabrina's dithering Aunt Hilda, as well as—especially and wonderfully—onto Sabrina's scheming mentor/secret antagonist Miss Wardwell (\u003cem>Doctor Who\u003c/em>'s Michelle Gomez, who lovingly chews her every line like tender morsels of marbled ribeye).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As in the comics, and the beloved-by-those-of-a-certain-age Melissa Joan Hart sitcom \u003cem>Sabrina the Teenage Witch\u003c/em>, Sabrina is saddled with mortal love interest Harvey Kinkle; it's to actor Ross Lynch's enormous credit—and the character's melancholic backstory here—that Harvey doesn't come off as a stick-in-the-mud, dull-as-dishwater dud who impedes Sabrina's potential. (Which is to say: a real Darren.)

That confident, self-assured strength spills over, from time to time, into \"Only I can save the day\" exceptionalism. That headstrong desire to make her own choices shades into stubbornness, and that keen, grounded intellect into know-it-allism. Shipka lets all that spilling, shading and nuance slosh around together, but she never loses us, because she locates an appealing vulnerability underneath the confidence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, neither she nor the character she plays is particularly funny. And when the series she's shouldering owes as much to \u003cem>Buffy the Vampire Slayer\u003c/em> as this one does (read: just a \u003cem>whole \u003c/em>lot), that absence is felt. (Later-season Buffy Summers was a dour drip, yes, but Sarah Michelle Gellar remained a deft hand with a quip.) The series, undaunted, shunts the much-needed humor off onto actors more at home with it, like \u003cem>The Office (U.K.)\u003c/em>'s Lucy Davis as Sabrina's dithering Aunt Hilda, as well as—especially and wonderfully—onto Sabrina's scheming mentor/secret antagonist Miss Wardwell (\u003cem>Doctor Who\u003c/em>'s Michelle Gomez, who lovingly chews her every line like tender morsels of marbled ribeye).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As in the comics, and the beloved-by-those-of-a-certain-age Melissa Joan Hart sitcom \u003cem>Sabrina the Teenage Witch\u003c/em>, Sabrina is saddled with mortal love interest Harvey Kinkle; it's to actor Ross Lynch's enormous credit—and the character's melancholic backstory here—that Harvey doesn't come off as a stick-in-the-mud, dull-as-dishwater dud who impedes Sabrina's potential. (Which is to say: a real Darren.)

And then I realized, quite recently, that I had crossed some line, unconsciously cloaked in the truth of my chronology. How did we get so damn old? I say to my joints, my iron-colored hair. Now I am older than my love, my departed friends. Perhaps I will live so long that the New York Public Library will be obliged to hand over the walking stick of Virginia Woolf.

I was encouraged to express myself however I wanted and sometimes made to watch \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGx4IlppSgU\">Joseph Campbell videos\u003c/a>. I vividly remember ripping holes in my stockings the summer between 8th and 9th grade but I’m not entirely sure where the inspiration came from. I was happily sent home from school once for an outfit deemed too “distracting” (violet slip, green vintage t-shirt, platform sandals) and it was early on that my love for scouring thrift stores, wearing giant jewelry and creating outfits with flourishes such as my dad’s blue coveralls was born. Each new find I made was a message in a bottle from the outside world. They were hints at the place I was one day going to get to and proof that I was compatible with it. \u003ca href=\"http://tropicsofmeta.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/bikinikillkathleenhannaslut.gif\">Riot Grrrls\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.examiner.com/images/blog/wysiwyg/image/heathers4.jpg\">\u003cem>Heathers\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/99/Wat_is_Dada_%3F_cover.jpg\">Dadaism\u003c/a>!

I'll be flying back and forth between one mutually exclusive thing and another for the rest of my days.”\u003c/em> Though the book is clearly full of despair, lines like that feel freeing too because of the power in Plath's language that wrestles with despair. \u003cem>The Bell Jar \u003c/em>was a reading experience beyond simply relating to the voice and more like having something directly injected into my psyche. In Maggie Nelson’s incredible, paradigm-shifting collection of essays \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/17/books/review/book-review-the-art-of-cruelty-by-maggie-nelson.html?pagewanted=all\">\u003cem>The Art of Cruelty\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, Plath is addressed in-depth. Nelson says she can’t help but wish we could all read the writing of an older Plath and I agree. It’s profound to consider how our concerns, understandings and preoccupations shift as we age, and it would have been fascinating to see them shift in her. Among many reasons why, she might have given our own shifts more clarity and because the only thing as fascinating as what remains the same in us is what changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One significant activity that filled my days as a teenager was zine making. For years I dutifully created \u003cem>Confessions of a Doorknob Queen\u003c/em> (I forget the title's origin, I think I was fascinated by locks) and sold it at local music stores. It contained lyrics from \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXzxYVeI0wc\">The Cure\u003c/a>, poetry obviously, \u003ca href=\"http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15297\">Anne Sexton\u003c/a> lines, concert tickets and sketches of boys I had crushes on. Zine-making is still going strong, somewhat undeterred by the ubiquitous power of the screen (or perhaps invigorated by it). There’s also, of course, the overall trend toward the handmade, including \u003ca href=\"http://sfcb.org/\">book art and bookmaking\u003c/a>. My sometimes panicked deleting of Instagram off my phone must be the result of my old school affinity for scotch tape, staples, my manual camera and ripping up all my books and magazines. Nothing makes me feel better than ripping images out of a magazine and taping them on a piece of paper. The tangible and analogue are therapeutic because they remind me of my days spent collaging my bedroom walls and making music videos in the fields.

With the advent of music blogs and Spotify this musical search has become easier and different of course, but it still contains the spirit of the scavenger hunt and I still love it. I have Spotify to thank for \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxyZXglIPQ8\">Lust For Youth\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t01dYTecfS8\">Gazelle Twin\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sng_CdAAw8M\">Rhye\u003c/a> among a zillion others.

Though she was a tad melodramatic, I've always felt a kinship with my teenage self. In fact I’m convinced a significant part of me still is 14 (maybe 17 when I’m feeling sophisticated). I’m curious about how our tastes develop over time, how they’re born and how they form us.

I was encouraged to express myself however I wanted and sometimes made to watch \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGx4IlppSgU\">Joseph Campbell videos\u003c/a>. I vividly remember ripping holes in my stockings the summer between 8th and 9th grade but I’m not entirely sure where the inspiration came from. I was happily sent home from school once for an outfit deemed too “distracting” (violet slip, green vintage t-shirt, platform sandals) and it was early on that my love for scouring thrift stores, wearing giant jewelry and creating outfits with flourishes such as my dad’s blue coveralls was born. Each new find I made was a message in a bottle from the outside world. They were hints at the place I was one day going to get to and proof that I was compatible with it. \u003ca href=\"http://tropicsofmeta.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/bikinikillkathleenhannaslut.gif\">Riot Grrrls\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.examiner.com/images/blog/wysiwyg/image/heathers4.jpg\">\u003cem>Heathers\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/99/Wat_is_Dada_%3F_cover.jpg\">Dadaism\u003c/a>!

I'll be flying back and forth between one mutually exclusive thing and another for the rest of my days.”\u003c/em> Though the book is clearly full of despair, lines like that feel freeing too because of the power in Plath's language that wrestles with despair. \u003cem>The Bell Jar \u003c/em>was a reading experience beyond simply relating to the voice and more like having something directly injected into my psyche. In Maggie Nelson’s incredible, paradigm-shifting collection of essays \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/17/books/review/book-review-the-art-of-cruelty-by-maggie-nelson.html?pagewanted=all\">\u003cem>The Art of Cruelty\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, Plath is addressed in-depth. Nelson says she can’t help but wish we could all read the writing of an older Plath and I agree. It’s profound to consider how our concerns, understandings and preoccupations shift as we age, and it would have been fascinating to see them shift in her. Among many reasons why, she might have given our own shifts more clarity and because the only thing as fascinating as what remains the same in us is what changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One significant activity that filled my days as a teenager was zine making. For years I dutifully created \u003cem>Confessions of a Doorknob Queen\u003c/em> (I forget the title's origin, I think I was fascinated by locks) and sold it at local music stores. It contained lyrics from \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXzxYVeI0wc\">The Cure\u003c/a>, poetry obviously, \u003ca href=\"http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15297\">Anne Sexton\u003c/a> lines, concert tickets and sketches of boys I had crushes on. Zine-making is still going strong, somewhat undeterred by the ubiquitous power of the screen (or perhaps invigorated by it). There’s also, of course, the overall trend toward the handmade, including \u003ca href=\"http://sfcb.org/\">book art and bookmaking\u003c/a>. My sometimes panicked deleting of Instagram off my phone must be the result of my old school affinity for scotch tape, staples, my manual camera and ripping up all my books and magazines. Nothing makes me feel better than ripping images out of a magazine and taping them on a piece of paper. The tangible and analogue are therapeutic because they remind me of my days spent collaging my bedroom walls and making music videos in the fields. I do appreciate things like \u003ca href=\"http://rookiemag.com/\">\u003cem>Rookie\u003c/em>\u003c/a> and \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sadiemagazine.com/\">Sadie\u003c/a>, \u003c/em>zine-like in spirit even though they’re online, and which my teenage self would've totally devoured had the Internet been around.

More than one of my early romances hinged on a shared love of certain bands (my knowledge of \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap3L_NCZk4s\">Jawbox \u003c/a>is totally responsible for my first college kiss). With the advent of music blogs and Spotify this musical search has become easier and different of course, but it still contains the spirit of the scavenger hunt and I still love it.

There was \u003cem>Sex and the City\u003c/em>, lest we forget, and a constant push to spend money and keep up, with reality shows like \u003cem>The Hills\u003c/em> and a strange cultural obsession with Paris Hilton. In the end, I think as girls we lost our way again, just like we did last time we had too much money, in the '80s. Girl culture became about labels, the possibility of fame, and the weird alternative reality of Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_110109\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-110109\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/nicole-richie-paris-hilton-today-180409-tease_f91409b0be9af0697087605a9f8582ff-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Paris and Nicole\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/nicole-richie-paris-hilton-today-180409-tease_f91409b0be9af0697087605a9f8582ff-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/nicole-richie-paris-hilton-today-180409-tease_f91409b0be9af0697087605a9f8582ff-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/nicole-richie-paris-hilton-today-180409-tease_f91409b0be9af0697087605a9f8582ff-768x432.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/nicole-richie-paris-hilton-today-180409-tease_f91409b0be9af0697087605a9f8582ff-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/nicole-richie-paris-hilton-today-180409-tease_f91409b0be9af0697087605a9f8582ff-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/nicole-richie-paris-hilton-today-180409-tease_f91409b0be9af0697087605a9f8582ff-1920x1081.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/nicole-richie-paris-hilton-today-180409-tease_f91409b0be9af0697087605a9f8582ff.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paris and Nicole\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>The New Girls\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enter the economic bottom dropping out.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but looking back it seems like it was a good time for girls, but an angry time. And everyone was skinny and on drugs, highlighted by \u003cem>Pulp Fiction\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Trainspotting\u003c/em>, heroin chic and Kate Moss. On the other hand, we had Lilith Fair and the woman warrior weapon of choice: the acoustic guitar. Suddenly everyone was 'PC', and it seemed like everyone had also recently become bi-sexual. Weirdest of all, dreadlocks enjoyed a rise in popularity, with Ani Di Franco as a poster child for basically all of the above.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_110110\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-110110\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/71eWD5lcgTL._SL1050_-800x798.jpg\" alt=\"Ani DiFranco\" width=\"800\" height=\"798\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/71eWD5lcgTL._SL1050_-800x798.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/71eWD5lcgTL._SL1050_-160x160.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/71eWD5lcgTL._SL1050_-768x766.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/71eWD5lcgTL._SL1050_-1020x1017.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/71eWD5lcgTL._SL1050_-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/71eWD5lcgTL._SL1050_-50x50.jpg 50w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/71eWD5lcgTL._SL1050_-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/71eWD5lcgTL._SL1050_-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/71eWD5lcgTL._SL1050_-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/71eWD5lcgTL._SL1050_.jpg 1050w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ani DiFranco\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>Soft-Spoken Harpists and Fame-Chasers\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I can hardly remember anything about the 2000s. I guess once your personal preferences are formed, and your personality cemented, you are free to go about looking back into history to find your tribe. This is when I discovered the Runaways, X, Siouxsie and the Banshees, \u003cem>Twin Peaks\u003c/em> and old horror films. Since I became a punk in this time period, my memory doesn't recall much of the current traditional girl 'pop' culture of the time. I remember that rockabilly had a resurgence, with amazing sculpted girl pompadour beehive things that I wished I could do. Also, there was the band, The Distillers, who took the angry feminism of the '90s and made it more explicit, referencing Susan B. Anthony in their lyrics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/ODGp9g9nJKk'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/ODGp9g9nJKk'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mostly what I remember, however, was the bipolar culture of a new way of keeping up with all kinds of the coolest things, amplified by the fact that basically everyone now had the internet and MySpace and a way to broadcast themselves. There was also a very quiet indie culture of soft girliness, like \u003ca href=\"http://lulamag.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lula Magazine\u003c/a>, which I think was a reaction from the more sensitive turtles of girl culture. We had the \u003ca title=\"Cobrasnake\" href=\"http://www.thecobrasnake.com\">Cobrasnake\u003c/a> and New York disco pop trumping everything like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Glass Candy, but we also had the \u003cem>Virgin Suicides\u003c/em> and Cat Power and Joanna Newsom, (which was weird because she is from my hometown). There was \u003cem>Sex and the City\u003c/em>, lest we forget, and a constant push to spend money and keep up, with reality shows like \u003cem>The Hills\u003c/em> and a strange cultural obsession with Paris Hilton. In the end, I think as girls we lost our way again, just like we did last time we had too much money, in the '80s. Girl culture became about labels, the possibility of fame, and the weird alternative reality of Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_110109\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-110109\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/nicole-richie-paris-hilton-today-180409-tease_f91409b0be9af0697087605a9f8582ff-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Paris and Nicole\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/nicole-richie-paris-hilton-today-180409-tease_f91409b0be9af0697087605a9f8582ff-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/nicole-richie-paris-hilton-today-180409-tease_f91409b0be9af0697087605a9f8582ff-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/nicole-richie-paris-hilton-today-180409-tease_f91409b0be9af0697087605a9f8582ff-768x432.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/nicole-richie-paris-hilton-today-180409-tease_f91409b0be9af0697087605a9f8582ff-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/nicole-richie-paris-hilton-today-180409-tease_f91409b0be9af0697087605a9f8582ff-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/nicole-richie-paris-hilton-today-180409-tease_f91409b0be9af0697087605a9f8582ff-1920x1081.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/03/nicole-richie-paris-hilton-today-180409-tease_f91409b0be9af0697087605a9f8582ff.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paris and Nicole\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>The New Girls\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enter the economic bottom dropping out.
