I mean it is quite shocking now when I look back over articles from the 90s and 90s just like the wording that was used. I think they're just a bit more sneaky within that, you know, we're still saying the same things but in Switzerland different way But back then it was just I mean, I got cults, we all got cults like terrible, horrible things. And as a young person I think for anyone and you're right, you know, the generation now have social media to deal with it, which I think is equally as damaging, if not more so in many ways because you can't escape me.

“You know, say, Oh, you know, you're wealth from female empowerment, yes, we brought that. This was something that was bubbling and moving and changing. And we were just really fortunate that we hit it at a time when more and more people were getting on it, you know. And I think because, you know, people often talk about feminism of the Spice Girls. And it's like, we feel like, you know, we were young. We had a point to prove. We wanted to be a girl band for girls. And we wanted to talk about female empowerment and how girls could do whatever they wanted to do. No one was telling us we couldn't do something. And it enabled us to take feminism and make it more palatable to the younger audience. You know, we had fans of three years of age. Pop fans or a music act. It never helped her before. And even now, you know, it's amazing. I do these shows and I go out and I do show this stuff and I do come to space.”

“I think the stars were in alignments whatever the magic was with that dynamite, that we are so different, that we are quite strong in our individuality, that we made the decision to dress how we each felt comfortable, you know, girl bands before us had coordinated their look or had a certain look, and we realized that didn't work for us. We wanted to make pop music, we loved pop music, we loved so many genres, but we felt like there was a space for a female band. You know, we kind of looked at bands like Take That and New Kids on the Bot. And there was no girl bands doing that. And that's what we wanted to do. And I just think just all those other elements, a lot of them accidental, you know, are nicknames, which we never came up with. It wasn't a marketing idea. It was top of the pops magazine.”
