Yeah but like she’s the funnel. The number of girlies who just love her and it washes over them. It draws people in. And all these niche creators do the same thing and it’s very insidious.

At 42:00 you mention that Charli XCX is not a part of this world, I wouldn't say that's totally true. the track "Mean Girls" on brat is purportedly about Dasha, and (imo) can be read as a pretty charitable perception of her. I don't think Charli is or considers herself part of that dimes square type wave, but I don't think she's totally divorced from that world either
