What We Think

Gossip Girl flirts with undermining tradition but predates today's full-blown woke wave. The focus is still on rich-kid drama, not identity politics, landing it at a relatively low woke score.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Gossip Girl is primarily driven by character drama, social scheming, and elite privilege. While diverse identity casting wasn't front and center, narrative is rarely hijacked for ideological messaging, keeping its focus on over-the-top drama rather than tokenism.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The series thrives on scandal, often challenging traditional notions of family cohesion, fidelity, and moral order. Masculinity and femininity are occasionally upended, but not to the cartoonish degree of modern shows. Traditional values are questioned but not entirely mocked.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The Upper East Side worldview reigns, and while most characters share a jaded outlook, some diversity of worldview (e.g., Dan's outsider attitude) does emerge. Dissident views are present, albeit often dismissed or overcome by the show's decadent ethos.
