Round 1E

Daria: You’re standing on my neck. Daria is an animated television series that aired from 1997 to 2002; a spin-off of the popular series Beavis and Butt-Head, Daria helped codify the image of the American disaffected youth. Daria Morgendorffer, a highly intelligent but deeply cynical and acerbic teenage girl, navigates the banality of high school and suburban family values alongside her best friend, her sister, and her classmates. Her deadpan humor made Daria an iconic character in 90s pop culture, resonating with audiences for her dry social commentary. The series takes a tongue-in-cheek look at societal conformity and the absurdities of the mundane, utilizing the music and styles of the era to great effect, making the show endlessly nostalgic but never cloying or forced. Daria represents the unimpressed but privately vulnerable tone of 90s youth in a way few other pieces of media can. Now, up next on Sick Sad World…

Missy Elliott’s Supa Dupa Fly: Beep beep, who got the keys to the Jeep? Supa Dupa Fly is the debut studio album by American rapper, singer, and producer Missy Elliott, released in 1997. The album is a landmark piece of hip-hop and R&B history, characterized by innovative production, unique sounds and samplings, and Missy's unmistakable rap style. Its futuristic and genre-blurring approach set it apart instantly; the album features a fusion of hip-hop, R&B, and electronic elements, while Missy's confident and distinctive lyricism shines throughout. Hits like The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly) and Sock It 2 Me showcased Missy's individuality and marked her as the voice for a generation of female rappers, to say nothing of her equally iconic music videos. Supa Dupa Fly is widely regarded as a seminal work in the evolution of hip-hop, breaking boundaries and earning critical acclaim for its fresh sound and bold approach to both music and visual storytelling.

“Miss Supadupa Fly”

The music of the '90s is something that I deeply miss. My formative years were soundtracked by songs from this era. You couldn't help but get down to the rhythms and adhere to the messages because they were so innovative. My senses brightened as our professor discussed Missy Elliot's Afrofuturist imprint in music during lecture. Missy was a visionary who brought Afrofuturism into the mainstream. It was while watching BET’s 106 & Park with my sister and cousin that I first saw Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott dangling in the focal point of a lens, as if floating in the air encased in a large, inflated garbage bag, gold hoop earrings, round helmet, and bug-eye sunglasses. This video alone had us enthralled. We were quickly enrolled into the "Hee-hee-hee-ha" fan club. LOL!

In 1997, after nearly a decade of hardcore gangsta and political rap, Missy provided us instantaneous authorization to be strange, different, and purely humorous without resorting to gimmickry or originality. Feminine but not stereotypically so, she proved that people could appreciate a woman for more than just her physical appearance "cute face and chubby waist" (in 2005's "Lose Control"), decades prior to the topic of positive body image became a hot topic in the entertainment industry. She didn't utilize her sexuality to write a story of fantasy but rather to evoke wonder. We were witnessing someone who was opposed to our ideas of what a woman should be like, and it was ground-breaking during this era. I was a teenager at Missy Elliot's peak popularity. On Saturday nights, my friends and I would frequent, "World on Wheels (W.O.W)." Every Angeleno knows that W.O.W. was the place to be on a Saturday night. The music was a motivating force that got you moving, and things got lit on the skating floor when the DJ began mixing Missy and Timbaland.

When groups that are underrepresented are presented with futures in which they do not appear, it sends the wrong message. And especially for young Black girls who are exposed to discrimination and gender bias from an early age, positive portrayals of the future are crucial. Missy often goes into futuristic concepts in her art, creating imaginative scenes that include spaceships, superheroes, and other aspects of science fiction. Unmatched depictions of black people in pop-culture. Black folk have historically experienced the pull of the cosmic vibration that unites us all. Despite the challenges, we draw from our life stories and blend them with our supernatural powers to produce a narrative that is unmatched in its vividness, originality, and unmistakable uniqueness. Missy Elliott has been called one of the great Afrofuturists, and rightfully so; she is responsible for a number of the most groundbreaking works in musical history. Realism and the actual soul of Black folk are reflected in her music, dancing, videography, and sense of style.

In order to ensure that young Black females visualize a promising future, Afrofuturism is vital. Black women of today are creators, leaders, and heroines who can do anything. Missy has paved a path for other black women to carry the torch, like Janelle Monaè.

Missy Elliott's Supa Dupa Fly Album Anniversary

In the center of a busy period of making guest appearances and writing for other artists, Elliott's debut album, Supa Dupa Fly, was released in mid-1997; the success of its lead single "The Rain" led the album to be certified platinum. Elliott wore an oversized trash-bag looking jumpsuit in the music video, and at Lilith Fair, an outfit media articles have considered one of her most recognizible "fashion moments".

The success was also a result of the music videos of her single releases, which were directed by Harold "Hype" Williams, who created many groundbreaking hip hop, Afro-futuristic videos at the time. The album was nominated for Best Rap Album at the 1998 Grammy Awards, but lost to Puff Daddy's No Way Out. The year also saw Elliott perform live at the MTV Video Music Awards show on a remix to Lil' Kim's "Ladies Night" with fellow rappers Da Brat, Angie Martinez and TLC-rapper Left Eye. Elliott continued her successful career in the background as a producer and writer on Total's single "Trippin'", as well as working with several others in the hip-hop and R&B communities. Elliott co-wrote and co-produced two tracks on Whitney Houston's 1998 album My Love Is Your Love, providing vocal cameos for "In My Business" and "Oh Yes". Elliott also produced and made a guest appearance on Spice Girl Melanie Brown's debut solo single, "I Want You Back", which topped the UK Singles Chart in Brown's native United Kingdom and is Elliot's only chart-topping song in that country.
