Hiiii fangrrrls,

In this episode, we discuss updates on our PhD journeys, exploring themes of fandom, emo subculture, and the complexities of being a fangirl in today's society.

The conversation also touches on current trends in fandom, from the dynamics of authenticity and social media within the Sleep Token fandom to xenophobia and privileged social status among concert goers.

We finish up discussing what we are fangrrrling over, from Dani's posh academic book on authenticity and selling out in punk and emo culture to Jess's obsession with V.E. Schwab's toxic lesbian vampires (it's as good as it sounds).

We can't wait to catch up with you! Let us know what you are fangrrrling over in the comments.

xoxo

Dani & Jess

It’s the grand finale of Season 2 of The Fan Grrrls Podcast with Jess and Dani! After a season of deep-diving into the cultural power of fangirls and hearing from incredible guests like Elin from Kite Thief, Anya from Exit Child, Morgan Richards from Sappenin' Podcast, DJ Tasmin Taylor, and industry pro Hannah Jackson from Girls at Gigs, all good things must come to an end... for now!

In this episode, Jess and Dani unpack some of the wildest pop culture moments hitting headlines in September: Dave Grohl’s shocking cheating scandal, P. Diddy’s arrest, and the uproar over Beyoncé being snubbed at the Country Music Awards. But it’s not just about the drama – they dive into how these moments reflect the larger issues of representation for women in music and pop culture. Tune in for a fiery discussion on how these cultural shifts impact how women are seen, heard, and celebrated in the industry.
