If they didn’t play volleyball, dance atop a piano, or dissolve into plasma when socially humiliated, teen girls in the ’90s were usually plagued by crippling anxiety and low self-esteem (case in point: Full House’s D.J. Tanner, who spent entire episodes agonizing over where to sit in the cafeteria and how to make her bangs look as unflattering as humanly possible). Daria did not suffer from D.J. Tanner syndrome. Throughout the series, her character was defined by the mantra articulated in the pilot episode: “I don’t have low self-esteem — I just have low self-esteem for everyone else.” Like the ferocious honey badger, Daria doesn’t care about her social status because Daria doesn’t give a shit, which is a lesson that outcasts on shows like MTV’s Awkward should take to heart.
