When I was 14 I would wake up listening to grunge and go to sleep with it next to my head every night. Reading Tavi’s blog post this morning about Courtney Love and Hole reminds me of why I used to be so moved by it as an awkward teenager. I have ‘internet friends’ i’ve had for 10 years (/cough Tara) who i stumbled across on Hole message boards and still tweet at on the regs. There is still a massive place in my heart for these albums although Courtney herself generally frightens me.
Returning to “boys on the radio” or “jennifers body” every now and then is like putting on the ultimate baggy sweatshirt that is super warm and soft and smells like the fabric softener your grandma uses.
Tavi likes HOLE?? this bitch. The dreadful joke is on anyone who takes that granny looking little bitch seriously.
Love Hole btw.
Honey, you must learn to form an opinion.
Also, why the girl hate? Tavi is a thoughtful, intelligent person who is opening teens up to feminism and though she needs no one to stick up for her, your venom says more about you than it does about her.
Girl hate?? REALLY?? I don’t hate girls, I love girls and women. I just don’t like emperors with new invisible clothes and the idiots who love them. This girl is not stylish, she continually looks like a girl dressing up in mommy’s clothes and it’s ridiculous. You want stylish teenage girls?? go look at cherie currie at 15, christina ricci when she was a teen, brooke shields, even anna wintour as a teenage girl, those were stylish, fashion conscious girls.
Tavi is nothing of the sort, she’s ridiculous. She’s fake, she’s playing dress-up and it’s sad that some peopple actually take her seriously. She’s just a child for christ’s sake!!! She’s not Anna Wintour, nor will she ever be. So no, I’m not hating on girls, I’m just not jumping on this tavi obsession bandwagon, it’s so lame.
Alright, now this is an improvement. At least it’s a reasonably developed opinion and while I do not agree with you, nor do I consider myself an idiot for being able to see a unique individual without feeling threatened, thanks for trying. I will not be continuing this dialogue because I just don’t care enough.
well I’m not threatened by Tavi AT ALL, if that’s what you are implying. She’s ridiculous, and seriously, what woman would follow anything she says?? specially when such 14 year old girl looks like I don’t know, an 80 year old muppet? I mean, c’mon.
I normally don’t do this kind of thing, but I couldn’t resist the irony:
“what woman would follow anything she says??”
This one, apparently:
