Like many people my age, this was so relatable (not saying why 😂) between me and my then best mate Shawn. We watched it religiously and it was and still is funny (even though now maybe a little more about nostalgia).
I didn't really watch this at the time, but I remember it being hugely popular! I did however watch some of the spin-off episodes of Daria, about the nerdy classmate, which I liked.
Great newsletter! I recognise this cartoon from an episode of Friends, with Joey and Chandler laughing along to the cartoon... It was clearly an iconic watch throughout the 90s!
As a 90s teen, one just felt cool and rebellious watching this. It went with grunge music and dress and the idea that we wanted to do/ be something better than mainstream...even though this was a heavily marketed MTV hit. It worked.
I remember this being around, but we didn’t have Sky at the time, so couldn’t watch it when I would have appreciated the humour. When we *did* get satellite tv, my younger brother loved it, which meant that I automatically found it annoying, in the way of long-suffering older teenaged sisters everywhere! 🙄😂
Oddly enough, I was the metal fan, not him, but I also could have channeled Daria (and Darlene from Roseanne) for most of my teen years. 🤦♀️

It was certainly of its time, and I can see why it had such a significant impact. Friends, classic :)
Thanks for this. Darlene from Rosanne brings back memories, she was such a great character!
She did indeed, she may even feature one day 🤩 Thabks for reading.

It certainly did. They were anti-everything, but it tapped into the universal teenage angst so well.
Daria eventually got her own show, which ran for several years.
I love that disclaimer- heading off the would-be imitators at the pass.
Ass-covering at its finest
