#9: S Club 7, Spice Girls, and Slipknot Walk Into a Bar

This week on Can’t Cope, the girls get nostalgic and dive deep into the music and artists that shaped their childhoods and teenage years. From Britney to Blink-182, Slipknot to Spice Girls, they cover the full emotional spectrum of their early obsessions. Rebecca remembers the walls of her childhood bedroom being plastered with Joey Jordison posters and talks about how much the Slipknot drummer meant to her. Kelsey shares her enduring love for Queen and Freddie Mercury, her admiration for Lady Gaga, and why Britney Spears was her first and most powerful pop culture icon. Together, they laugh about fanfiction, Discman days, and the pure joy of discovering new music when you’re young and dramatic.

They also chat about the bizarre judgment people seem to have when you go on a holiday alone, the tragic contents of all-you-can-eat buffets, and a shocking dream Kelsey had in which Rebecca was a stone-cold killer. There’s also an update on Rebecca’s love for robes, a vivid description of the post-night-out walk of shame, and the eternal struggle of packing bold outfits for dinner and nothing practical to wear in the daytime. The episode is a celebration of formative tunes and being defiantly yourself, whether you’re blasting Sean Paul from your Walkman or reading fanfic about falling in love with a drummer.
