It girl and alt girl: what do they mean?

There’s nothing scarier than a teenage girl out for revenge, let alone two teenage girls. The Netflix movie Do Revenge follows what happens after a clandestine, highly secret meeting between an ex it girl, Drea, and a new alt girl, Eleanor, with a past as a beta girl behind her. Together the two girls will hunt down whoever tormented the other for bittersweet revenge.

But what do the terms mean first? it girl and height girl? Let’s try to shed light on the two expressions to understand what type of characters we are dealing with.

A it girl in common parlance she is an attractive young woman, endowed with both sex appeal and a particularly engaging personality. The expression was born in the circle of British high society in the early twentieth century. It then spread throughout the world in 1927 thanks to a film starring actress Clara Bow, Cosette. At the time of course, sex appeal was not even considered. On the contrary: an it girl was a young woman who had achieved popularity without flaunting the same sensuality as her. Today, clearly, it is different. Key qualities of an it girl are popularity, beauty and her fashionable and worldly lifestyle. Drea in the Netflix movie Do Revenge she is an it girl but add to this also an alpha, dominant personality to have a more complete picture.

Eleaonor is instead aalt girl. Alt girl is an expression that has also established itself thanks to social networks such as Tik Tok, where in recent years there has been a strong rise of the so-called “alternative girls”. Everyone will have seen at least one in their feeds. Alt girls are different from the others, first of all, for their aesthetic appearance: they often have dyed hair (but it’s not a fixed rule), they wear clothes that aren’t exactly in the latest fashion and they don’t listen to mainstream music. They often have a rebellious disposition and a carefree attitude. Going against the norms is a characteristic of their identity, as is anti-sociality.

The alliance of an it girl with an alt girl can therefore prove explosive, especially when both want to take revenge for something that cornered them. Eleanor longs to bring down her tormentor, Clarissa, while Drea wants it known when Max is self-righteous, misogynistic, and even “feigned awake.”
