Description
In this week's episode, we dive into the evolution of the 'sad girl' archetype from music and art to influencer culture. We first cover what 'sad girl' means, which celebrities have become successful from presenting this way, and why it could be considered controversial. We finish by looking at how 'sad girl' has evolved with influencer culture with the likes of creators like Emma Chamberlain and Madeline Argy, and why we think this archetype resonates so much with Gen Z.
