A while back I posted the EDGY speech from THE LOST GIRLS (one of my all-time favorite Daria snippets--- which is why I didn't mind watching it 10 times to get it right, not did I mind when I found out its on the web anyway.) I have it below for reference.
HOWEVER, I noticed someting about it.
When my TV set is on MUTE we get CLOSED CAPTION.
Daria actually SAYS
out of the quote unquote youth culture
But the Closed Caption is
out of the "youth culture"
Which one should be considered what Daria said?
(Self Reflection question--- is pondering this better or worse than wondering about Daria's Figure, as some other postings have done.)
VAL: Edgy is going right up to the edge of the cliff, being able to see all the way down, and dancing anyway!
(Then there was some dialouge)
DARIA: As far as I can make out, edgy occurs when middle brau, middle aged profiteers are looking to suck the energy, not to mention the spending money, out of the "youth culture." So they come up with the fake notion of seeming to be dangerous when every move they make is the result of market research and a corporate master plan.
