The Lower the Jeans, the Further from God: TRL, Purity Culture, and What We Did to Britney (Part 2 of Purity Culture and Pop) (Patreon Preview)

It's my turn. I take my Gen Z friend Erin — a K-pop expert who has never heard of TRL — on a journey through the late 90s and early 2000s, when the media decided that women pop stars needed to be simultaneously sexy and virginal, and then punished them for both. We're talking Britney, Christina, Jessica Simpson, Justin Timberlake doing the absolute most on Barbara Walters, and how Ronald Reagan is somehow responsible for all of it.
