Sassy was the hipper-than-thou magazine that had a lovely article called something like "who the hell would join a sorority?"

While it was cool to see a magazine promoting alternative fashion/music/beauty, IMO it went too far - in much the way that the feminist movement did. It went from "here's a choice if you don't feel like you can ever be that perfect girl in Seventeen" to "if you for one second ever liked anything in Seventeen you must be some kind of loser and are in no way cool enough to hang out with us." In other words, it became just as cliquish as the cliques it was originally created to shun.
Not to mention the editor turned into a total fame whore.
