In this episode of “Your Friend, the ’90s” we take a look back at pseudo riot grrls VERUCA SALT (still love the name) and their 1994 hit, “Seether.” Named after that snotty rich girl in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Veruca Salt was formed by Chicago pals Louise Post and Nina Gordon who were originally introduced to each other by actress Lili Taylor. (Remember that one for trivia night.)

This song still holds up remarkably well, and is a surefire ponytail rocker for those road trips to the hot springs with your girlfriends. Best parts of the video? All of it—that is, if you like kittens and videos with that whole Reality Bites vibe. Most disturbing part? The very end where they just silently eat burritos. That creeps me the fuck out.
