A search for the local bully who gave us one of the pop culture moments of the yearThe Spinoff Daily, Tuesday July 2
Ahiahi mārie, welcome to The Spinoff Daily. Today on The Spinoff: The schoolboy rugby saga that shows we take rugby way too seriously, all the reasons your landlord could soon evict you, and the government has discovered Pharmac – what should it find next? But first: Which one of you told Lorde she ‘walked like a bitch’?
Alex Casey: “No line of Lorde’s verse in Charli XCX’s ‘the girl, so confusing version with lorde’ is more fun to spit out than the following: ‘Girl, you walk like a bitch’ On about my one hundred and twentieth plod down the hallway in my slippers to WLAB (Walk Like a Bitch), a thought entered my head: somewhere out there exists the person who told Lorde she walked like a bitch when she was 10. Have they heard the remix? Have they read the discourse? Have they reflected on their role in this defining pop culture moment? Do they still spend their precious time on this Earth accusing children of walking like bitches?”
