Nerd Girl Style Icon-ing is back! And without further ado, and much sarcasm, I present to you...
DARIA
"Don't worry, she's clearly overestimated my conscious. By assuming I have one at all."
"Don't worry, she's clearly overestimated my conscious. By assuming I have one at all."Daria hails from the eponymous show which aired in the 1990s on MTV. She was originally created as a character on "Beavis and Butt-head", to sort of combat the boyish, potty humor with her dry sarcasm, but was so popular that she was given her own show. The show centers around Daria's highschool life, her best friend Jane, her crush on THE ABSOLUTELY DREAMY Trent, and surviving amongst her crazy yet endearing family.
Woo boy, doesn't that sound like a sitcom set up?

This show wasn't the only show in the nineties to embrace some female teenage angst; take for example Freaks and Geeks and My So-Called Life. The outcast genre disappeared for a little while, in the era of Mischa Barton (what was that show again?) and the advent of (bum bum bum) Reality TV, but has recently re-appeared on the big screen (more on that later). Still, since Daria's finale (the 90 minute "Is It Fall Yet?" back in the day), no show has filled the gap that this show left in it's wake.
