YES! It also really felt like the pop girlies were in their "political" era this summer... like, after Trump won I was thinking about how wild it is that Kamala got so many pop girlies to endorse her, and how ultimately it did absolutely nothing to win her the ticket. I thought it would at least push the needle... I'd love to see a survey of how influential, if at all, those endorsements were...

So powerful Madison “Proudly queer and openly self-assured women artists can be pedestaled at the same time as an administration that seeks to roll back federal protections for women. “. Profound piece ! Well done !

wow. yes. ultimately, "eras" feel like the perfect brand vessel. a contained aesthetic, easy to define, easy to identify, easy to advertise, to package and label and sell

Loved the connections from 90's pop girlies to now and the way you tied in politics/the recent election. Definitely a take that resonates right now and aptly describes the current period

So interesting to read the correlation to pop-girlies today, how they were shaped by the internet, and how they may move forward in a new political landscape. Well done!
