I would do anything—ANYTHING!!!—to get my circa 1994 x-girl wardrobe back.
Also: MTV using Unrest, pregnant Kim Gordon hoping she gives birth to a riot grrrl, and ”If you have a ringer, you’re an indie rocker, period.”
I was visiting Stockholm in March of 1995 and bought a dress at (the) H&M that was a complete rip-off of one of these x-girl dresses (so pale blue it was hardly blue with dark red rings). And I can guarantee I wore it while walking around Riga with Unrest on my walkman, as it was one of ten cassettes I managed to bring with me for the year.
(I sometimes think the internet exists for the sole purpose of me being able to stumble across videos like this and tell you stories like these. Whether that’s worth anything to anyone or not remains to be seen.)
