"The sickness of the 00s hasn’t dissipated entirely but it has mutated, as society has become more enlightened about mental health, drug and alcohol addiction. As a society, we are more progressive: two-thirds of young women identify as feminists; to say so when I was a teen would have been unthinkable. Although it does not feel like it – living as we do in a pandemic era, wracked by nostalgia and constantly throwing back images of pop culture moments, such as when Britney, Paris and Lindsay all piled into the same SUV – the 2000s were a very long time ago. That past was a different country. I hope that we never go back."
