A subtle detail that many may have missed in this scene is Quinn looking uneasy after Daria provided her explanation behind the word "edgy." Like she understood what Daria's point was and started wondering if her efforts at being popular were being exploited by others for monetary gain.
As became apparent over the course of the series, Quinn was almost as intelligent as her sister. She differed from Daria because early on she had made a decision to hide her intellect for the sake of popularity.. So I think Quinn understood Daria's point and was silently yelling "Ouch!'
Daria is one of the few good things to come from MTV, even in its so called "golden age" of the 80s, they would repeat the same videos over and over, and it was all mainstream crap. How is that edgy?
@@kayleighbrown459 I guess its more of an issue with how little people view their audience that superficial "mature," trappings are done with the expectation of success, instead of actually approaching your audience as if they are living thinking beings that deserve to be talked to as such. This kind of edginess is why we get poor depictions of characters like Batman who is a far more nuance and complex characters then most of his annoying fans would have you believe.
Not to explain the joke, but Daria is actually being "authentically" "edgy" in her explanation. It's like a double layered joke. Like, by exposing the fraudulence of "edgy," Daria is embodying edginess itself.
And that term and person evolved into wiggers during the 2000’s and zoomers in present day, or anyone who tries to be cool by listening to rap or trap music.
Agreed! If anything, your youthful energy is annoying, as it reminds us of what we've lost. However, we take solace from the fact that what we DO have, which is experience - and YOUR money.
@@sdfr7724 Yes, that's sort of Gen X's thing. Angsty & edgy then, angsty & edgy now. (But this guy isn't angsty & edgy- he's just a grumpy, greedy, sad old twat, like the ppl Daria is talking about. There's a difference between that and anxty/edgy.)
Because MTV could never stick with anything too good for too long. They had plenty of good ideas over the years but they always ended up dumping them for more reality TV crap.
pinz2022 "reality" tv is easier and cheaper to make, Daria will always be a classic while realities will barely be remembered in a year, or a month, give it or take.
@@TheSpawnfan They don't care about being remembered. They care about making money now. In fact, they'd prefer not to be remembered. That way no one will notice that they're rolling out the same shit year after year.
You know what the whole irony of this is? Daria was produced by MTV and essentially told the audience that everything the network stands for is pure crap. Why would they put a show on that absolutely lambastes them? Because it made them seem more "edgy". Nonetheless, it was a good show that encouraged you to think for yourself without ever getting preachy. And don't tell me this show was produced when "MTV was good" because the "Real World" has been around since 1992.
MTV was good back then in spite of a few stupid things. Every channel has had dumb stuff at some point. Daria was the tail end of when MTV produced any good content, and I’d argue it’s their best production. Aeon Flux was also on 91-95.
Quotes from this episode haunt me to this day. Daria could be read as being pessimistic sometimes, but this show really helped me survive the turn of the millennium and all its crazyness with it's cautious optimism. Thank you, everyone who worked on this show
@@SamuelBlack84thats kinds more like realism. pessimism is expecting the worst to happen, which is why its the opposite of optimism, expecting the best to happen. the realist would say flipping a coin is a 50% chance regardless of optimism or pessimism
@@Matty002what would you call expecting the worst to happen but are surprised that it manages to somehow be worse than the worst thing you can imagine? It's not optimism and then getting disappointed.
best quote : Val - Yeah, Daria, tell your dad what edgy is. Daria - As far as I can make out, edgy occurs when middlebrow, middle-aged profiteers are looking to suck the energy -- not to mention the spending money -- out of the "youth culture." So they come up with this fake concept of seeming to be dangerous when every move they make is the result of market research and a corporate master plan.
@@leephillips4402 Nope, you're forgetting this part: Val: -angst... I'm sure Daria can tell you all about "edgy" she is IT. And I mean it with a capital I.T. Helen: Daria! You've barely said a word...
I remember in high school I use to look the transcirpts for a lot of the episodes from Daira fan-based websites, and quote her all the time. She always had the best sarscasm on TV, and she was a non fictional animated character at that. Great show.
When is the last time you heard writing like this on any show? One of the reasons I still love and watch Daria is that it helps shatter the long-held (and profitable) illusion that Animation=Kiddie show.
i cant believe this video is almost 15yo! i just binge watched the show for the first time and its so underrated and everyone need to watch it. and this scene was so meta i was expecting daria to break the 4th wall
I looked up Daria on Hulu and it was under...I shit you not "Edgy Cartoons." Yet another reason the Daria reboot doesn't need to happen, because the people who claim to like the show clearly didn't get it.
Didn't the beatniks of the 50's called people pretending to be into art and high culture music hipsters first? The word "hippie" was originally a derigatory term in the 60's coined by the beatniks who thought hippies were just into cultural phenomenons once they became popular among people in general, while not really giving a shit.
One of my Aspergers is to one day be witness to Soraya bursting into a bedroom in her own house and catch a parapledgic chick who vowed no one could move her, sitting 🪑 in a wheelchair waiting for Soraya’s boy toy, which at the time was Hector Safistijamaican’s cousin Nandito from YackemZackemWoahbotz, and go crazy on everyone in the house who was not supposed to be there because they were given false directions to a party in Whittier. Unbeknownst to the guests, an old school pregnancy test was found in the downstairs cellar bathroom complete with its own kitchenette like at the Star Liter....the test is like a giant pink bucket or a fish tank and you have to use some sort of chemical mixture and some of those stickers little girls get in the pack of toy jewelry with the plastic tacones, yeah those earring stickers for kids who aren’t allowed to have piercings because they might “get hurt in their ears”
@@TheGreatAtario all MTV shows are picked up for the sake of how relevant they'll be i.e. how many viewers they get and how many commercials they can squeeze in. Daria wasn't picked up by MTV to be some special social statement, they thought it would make them money.
People with Asperger's generally don't understand sarcasm or pick up on social cues. Daria's language pretty much exclusively consisted of sarcasm and she never had a problem understanding people socially. She was just too smart for the people around her and used sarcasm and indifference to convey her annoyance.
True, but it isn't universal. I'm autistic and was understanding and using sarcasm before my peers. By third grade, I was so relentlessly cynical and sarcastic I had to tone it down before everything I said became sarcastic. I got it down to a reasonable level by seventh grade.
So, like, some people say Daria was edgy because it had a cynical edge and was aimed at cynical teens? I don't get this word. How do you even distinguish "fake edge" against "real edge"? I'm going mad.
PolarPhantom yeah, it was aimed at cynical teens, and it aired on the most edgy tv station of all time. I think the zoom in acts a clue by wich creators are telling us this stament is also meant as self critique ( they wouldnt need to emphasize a snappy comeback so much) Original or alternative trends, styles art etc become edgy after intermediates try to cash into these niches, depriving them of substance and identity so they may reach a larger consumer base, so i' d say edgy is fake by definition.
Based on Daria's definition, the fake edge is marketable, real edge is a bane to salesmen. For example Fake: Che Guevara T-shirt. Real: The actual Che Guevara.
It's Not Aimed At "Cynical Teens".It's Aimed At People That Are Too Smart For Beavis And Butthead. It's A Show About Being Intelligent,Not About Being Cynical (Daria,Herself Just Happens To Be Both).
"Real edge" is a direct affront to the status quo. "Fake edge" is being subversive, but in a shallow self-serving way. "Real edge" was the civil rights movement, because people challenged a corrupt and tyrannical system. "Fake edge" would be rappers who rail against authority while taking corporate sponsorships.
There is no real or fake edge, only good and bad edge. Good edge is Rebelling against that which is morally wrong, but seen as correct. When you do the right thing even though you are told not to, and don’t care about what others think. Bad edge is anime teen angst. In other words: Doing things only to be seen as “cool”.
@Slashbash No but she doesn't like being forced into things she doesn't like to do. And if she had no choice she would either sabotage it or make it work in her favor.
Now I have just realized why when ever I watched MTV as a teenager. I got depressed unlike the rest off them... I was smart enough to be aware off what It use to be. And while looking at all the gangsters rapping pop punk wannabes skateboarding I could see MTV committed cultural suicide getting rid off black sabbath (and any good music) along with bevis and butthead and Daira... They said MTV was corrupting youth back then. Now the youth off the day will not only be corrupted but dumb too.
"Val" is based on Jane Pratt, founder/editor of teengirl mag "Sassy" and later the self-titled "Jane" (for the 18-34 set). Jane was 24 when she founded "Sassy" and had a good run doing interviews and talk shows for Fox, Lifetime, WH-1 and Extra. Last year she founded xojane.com. I always thought Daria was a mite unfair to "Val". Val was so lovably pathetic.
