      @@vero8droxI understand the hype around Chloe but just like you I don’t get the appeal around Alexa Chung. I think watching her in Next in Fashion kinda turned me off because her opinions are wack… it really erases the veneer of relatability because she’s acting like a higher authority in a competition show about fashion design, criticising designers with fashion labels that have existed for decades. Meanwhile her label only lasted five years and wasn’t exactly groundbreaking. Plus I know this is very subjective and personal but I just don’t like how she does away with her Chinese roots.

    Also back in the 90s, the scene was on the streets. So you could be small town or big city famous just based on your vibes, friend group and clothes with or without an internet presence. Chloe was New York famous. I think that explains why she got cast. Some people back in the days used to make that their whole existence. Just strutting around town looking cool making friends and enemies that way

    Chloë was my first real introduction to someone who I felt that I knew so much about without knowing anything at all. As a black girl growing up in the south and in underfunded theatre clubs, all of my studying or knowledge of acting came from watching films but more specifically some of my favorites like the brown bunny, buffalo 66, mysterious skin, last days of disco, requiem of a dream and so many more. Her acting style and overall personality always resonated most with me of all actors. Most recent film i’ve seen her in is ‘Bones and all’, she’ll always be a huge inspiration for me

    I was born in 83 and for me, a big part of her appeal was that she wasn't "preppy". Punk, goth, hippy kids etc didn't have as many people to look up to. I think alt kids kind of saw themselves in her, during a time where we weren't represented in media as often (or accurately).
    We have aesthetics now, but the subcultures that we had back then were often really insular and specific. She scratched a certain itch and it felt good to have someone to kind of point to, like, "she's pretty okay."
    I have a fuller understanding of it now (pick me girls, cool girls, etc) but back then it felt like she didn't "conform" and (for lots of reasons), that carried a lot of weight with us. We couldn't identify with the wider culture, but we had a few people.

Houses start at several million dollars, maybe $1.5-2million for a small house, and Chloe said they lived in one of the nicer neighborhoods, not the "lesser" ones (which are still fancier than most of us can imagine). Chloe's family dropped multiple millions to live there, which is fine, no shame to them for being able to afford that lifestyle. But it's not like you can pay $250k and get a house among the mansions. They may have been the "poor family," but having a $2million mini-mansion among $10million Old Money mansions doesn't make them "poor."

    Absolutely loved this vid! Just subbed and can’t wait to delve further into your channel 🖤 I grew up during the “kids” era and just watched it again during the initial lockdown. I immediately remembered my fascination with Chloe and now, with this vid, have a renewed sense of adoration and respect for her artistic aura and the fact that she was adamant (and able) to remain more private and self protective as opposed to living the proverbial in your face pop star/actress life

    Have always loved that hint of a mid-Atlantic/trans-Atlantic accent she has.
    Also love that she and I both shaved our heads way back in the 90s🤘
    Edit: speaking of character actors, my wife put on some old episodes of Law and Order: SVU a few weeks ago--I forgot that Chloë starred in one! She portrays an upper east side housewife turned sex-crazed murderess.

      Considering gas was like .90 cents a Gallon in the 90's. Her family could've had a modest income, and still have been "well off", but relatively poor.

    • @Thrivinginthespotlight
      @Thrivinginthespotlight 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +54

      Not sure if I'm right on this but...she said her family were considered the "poor bohemians" in their very affluent neighborhood. Which could've meant that, that was the judgment passed on to her family from neighbors maybe because their buying choices weren't lavish and glitzy. They could've been well to do but more crunchy and artsy as a family. There's plenty of artsy stuff that's Rustic but big bucks on the wallet.

    • @lilymoon2829
      @lilymoon2829 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +17

      Not necessarily, the Broadway trip could have been a one-off, a really big treat, and theatre camp doesn't need to cost much, depends on the camp. I grew up very frugally (like, I didn't really comprehend the difference between second hand and new until I was nearly a teen because to me, second hand was just how you got "new" stuff, and we at times struggled to get food on the table) but I went to theatre and arts camps frequently, I also went to the West End for my 13 birthday with my mum- my parents would spend on those things because they were cheaper than going on vacation, which we couldn't afford, and we would make use of deals and work-arounds that made them even cheaper than they would otherwise be. And a family may have made other sacrifices to make a splurge- for example, my family never bought a TV or a phone, we had a kind and wealthy neighbour who always gave us her old ones, in fact we barely ever bought anything new. You never know.

    I have an early formative memory of my dad taking me to the a record store in the mall and while he was looking at the cds I stood directly in front a cd with a cover that I absolutely terrified me that I could not stop looking at and disturbed me for hours that day. For years I would remember that cover and be chilled by it trying to think of story the photo was trying to convey. As an adult I wondered what album it was but decided to never seek it out, to be comforted with the very image that once upset so much while watching a video in the middle of the night. I guess it was the soundtrack to Party Monster 18:15

    Chloe will forever be the most iconic it girl for me. I was 15 when I saw "Kids", in the late 90s and it forever changed me, cementing my taste for alternatives, experimental everything (from movies and music to fashion and art). I think what people love about her is that you can feel she's down to earth, speaks her mind, doesn't have a massive ego (which is remarkable in itself given how big her head could have gotten with being so famous and revered at barely 20). Still today, she's a muse with a very special place in my heart ❤

  • @sizzlemeat
    @sizzlemeat 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    GREAT video- thank you so much for putting it together and letting so many who didn’t know understand who she is & why she’s just cool AF🤘🏾💫🤌🏾❤️. To THIS day she’s still 100% hella cool and relevant but going back to those early years it’s just so fun to imagine the time she had just exploring her casual interests of Skaters, Indie rock, Punk, goth (she was even a part-time Deadhead). Hanging with would-be Zoo York/Supreme kids in Washington Square & Brooklyn Banks, raving and clubbing at Disco 2000 at Limelight & NASA at the Shelter. Seeing shows by the crème de la creme of indie/noise/punk bands at CBGBs and Mercury Lounge and everything falling into place from there. Her style has ALWAYS been impeccable and her interests have always been fascinating & on point💫 No it-girl after her ever came close EXCEPT maybe Corey Kennedy and most recently, the ineffably glorious & talented Keke Palmer. It just irks me when super rich heiresses get tagged with “it”- bc it takes away from the OG SUBVERSIVE artsy nature that “it” entailed. Not to blindly hate on Paris Hilton- I used to, but honestly I can see how kinda subversive she can be in her own right in terms of her “self-branding” and all around image. But Chloë was (IS) the REAL deal (along with Keke Palmer now & Corey Kennedy at a specific place in time) and I think it’s safe to say- at least in MY mind- she’s the last TRUE “It-Girl” Nobody else HAS ever or will ever cover as many bases as she did- downtown art scene, Rave scene, Indie Rock, fashion, Films, Indie movie master- along with all the right ties to all the BEST magazines. And the kicker is- CHLOË had and has the true talent and chops to pull through and maintain a completely valid and awesome career. She was NEVER irrelevant. She’s just the bees knees and ALWAYS will be the absolute coolest💕🤘🏾❤️

    She didn’t play an immediately likeable character in Big Love (though she ended up with a sympathetic character arc) and definitely didn’t dress like an It Girl, but I really loved her performance in it and loved the show.
