As much as I like Maggie as a performer, her media appearances and interviews give the impression of a bougie pseud. Either she's been marinating in this scene long enough to lose her sense of chronology or she's just revising history for her own narrative and the interviewer's article:

>A lot of that also has to do with the real progress that’s been made with sexism and feminism in the last six years.” Rogers recently said that before the pandemic, she was so afraid of being sexualised, she “really squashed my sense of sexuality in order to protect myself”.

Bitch, shut the fuck up. Indiefucks were everywhere in the late 2000s and 2010s. Movies like Juno, Away We Go, Amélie, (500) Days of Summer and virtually any film starring Zooey Deschanel captured that zeitgeist along with the growing popularity of Vice, BrooklynVegan and so many other not-so-niche publications/websites. Just look at any commercial from that era, especially Apple. Just from my own memory:

There were countless other shitty ads featuring hipsters gyrating around hocking whatever new-fangled gadget was on the market. You weren't a progenitor. You were its progeny.
