![]() The poem begins with the line, “My mouth hasn’t shut up about you since you kissed it,” and we still read it once a year. We digress, but before we get back on track, who can forget Alex’s leaked love letter for Alexa. One Direction may have been the biggest boy band in the world, but this indie rock band from Sheffield fully cemented itself within our fantasies of 70s rock glam, Arabella, and slick base. The couple had broken up by the time we were obsessing over them on Tumblr, but the band dropped their most iconic album AM during those years, and it was also EVERYWHERE. She had been in a soulmate romance (don’t quote us, this was our collective projection on their private relationship) with Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner. Over the past week, Tumblr has emerged from its ashes on TikTok with its Grunge and Twee aesthetics taking over the platform, and Vogue even published an article titled, “The 2014 Tumblr Girl is back.”Īlthough, those who spent their Tuesday nights before school in a Tumblr hole may remember Twee was known as Hipster (nowadays, it’s a lifestyle choice that goes beyond fashion and see Melbourne for context).Īlexa wasn’t the OG IT Girl, but she was EVERYWHERE on Tumblr, so she was basically the Kate Moss of the site, but instead of covering Vogue, she was a guest editor in 2009 and had a Mulberry bag named after her.īut perhaps the reason she, a Twee enthusiast, transcended Tumblr with such vigour was because she intersected with another sub obsession. Every other post was about her, and she earned that mantel of adoration for her immaculate style, making her our fashion icon.Īfter all, she’s the perfect amalgamation of all our favourite icons like Jane Birkin, Anna Karina, Wednesday Adams, and 70s Rockers.
