The Fangirl Stigma I: Why Does the Music Industry Hate Teen Girls?

In this episode, we start to pick apart the stigma behind fangirls. Join Sara Feigin and Jenna Million as we discuss the first time fangirls appear in history, at a classical piano concert in Germany in 1841, at the time it was thought of as hysteria and was dubbed Lisztomania. We touch on how fangirls are made to feel that their opinions are not valid by not only the media but also those closest to them. And the kicker of it all is how they're made to feel guilty about loving music that a lot of the time is created with their interest specifically in mind.
