It's Been a Minute · Numb girls & the humiliation of caring too much · 10 Apr 2026 podcast

I don't know whether it was intentional or not.

There's like an impenetrable kind of sheen there.

I mean, if that is any indication, which, you know, in many ways, like Devna is a designer who's big on spectacle, big on playing into pop culture and kind of putting up a mirror to people as far as like what they are experiencing or perhaps overindulging or enjoying a lot right in the moment.

I think that's such an apt example for this moment and what we're seeing sort of play out aesthetically with Numb Girls.

We're going to take a quick break.

But first, if you're a longtime listener or brand new to It's Been a Minute, be sure to come back every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday for brand new episodes.

I think that this numb thing is very closely related to some other online trends from like the past few years, including like all of the different tendrils of quote unquote femininity content, you know, news fatigue, even, you know, something you both have written about this idea of lobotomy chic.

I see you nodding rain.

Can you explain lobotomy chic for those of us who may not be in the know?

Sophie, what about you?

You wrote a whole article about lobotomy chic.

What were you noticing?

I mean, lobotomies were really messed up.

Hopefully that goes without saying.

And as you said, they were disproportionately used on women and many queer people were subject to the procedure as a way to address what was thought of as deviant sexuality.

So I think for some people, joking about wanting a lobotomy has become a shorthand way to say that the brutality we're living with is so, so much greater than this incredibly brutal procedure.

I'm glad you bring up the whiteness and thinness of it all, because I think that that is like, that's, it feels so key to this aesthetic, whether you are imagining it visually or just sort of imagining the way that it might feel as an attitude.

Yeah.
