“The brilliance of Girls is how these young Americans have already gotten all the hopes and desires trampled out of them. Twenty years ago, Dunham and her friends would have been working in coffee shops in some boho college town. The word ‘slacker’ would have gotten kicked around, and they all would have had bands. (Plus boyfriends who pretend to be Steve Albini.) Ten years ago, they would have been DJs or bloggers with podcasts. (Plus boyfriends who pretend to be James Murphy.) But in 2012, these ladies have no aspirations, not even the insanely pretentious and unrealistic kind. They don’t daydream about being famous or rich. They’re not working on any kind of dream at all.” - Rob Sheffield on the power of Lena Dunham’s Girls
