It may have originated as a tumblr aesthetic, but now the sad girl is everywhere: the music of Billie Eilish, Lana Del Rey and Phoebe Bridgers; TV shows like Fleabag, Crazy Ex Girlfriend, You’re The Worst, and Dickinson; and books like My Year of Rest and Relaxation, Normal People and Conversations with Friends. These huge cultural movements may not touch directly on contemporary women’s struggles, but the characters at their heart are all attempting to reflect a truth of what being a millennial or gen-z woman is, and create a space to talk about how difficult, traumatic, and just tiring it can be.
