Nearly 20 years


I still love this show. It came out after I had already graduated, but I could identify with a lot that goes on. Been rewatching on Hulu, and it still cracks me up.

Many kids of the '90s look back on their grungy years of sarcastic indifference with a bit of regret, but at the time, nothing was cooler than casual nihilism. Emblematic of that attitude was Daria, the Beavis and Butthead spinoff that focused on the duo's smart, seemingly utterly indifferent classmate. At the time, it was relatable animation for people who were stuck between being kids and being adults. In retrospect, we know that Daria's unrelenting 'tude was an obstacle to valuable life experiences, and it can be hard to watch today—not to mention that every other character in the show is obviously a terribly broad caricature of high school stereotypes. And it seemed so real at the time.

Yeah, I rewatched the show about a year ago and it's still hilarious. I also love the genuine moments between the characters, when they actually open up to each other about something.

And who doesn't get a kick out of Kevin's "But baaaaabe!"

Seize the moment, 'cause tomorrow you might be dead.
