What Daria says about '90s (and today)

(The Take, June 21, 2022) MTV's Daria Morgendorffer made it cool to be a wry and cynical loner.

Mike Judge (Beavis & Butt-Head) created Daria

This teen girl who didn’t care about popularity or trends was the picture-perfect example of ‘90s alienation. She was a surprising character for a channel (MTV) that often sold brash, extroverted, or overtly sexualized versions of females during that same period. Years later, Daria still resonates with anyone who’s ever questioned whether the problem is you or the system you’re living in – and it can help us understand cultural changes that were happening back in the 1990s.
