As far as Mia being forgotten, I think (like I stated in my first paragraph) that her death overshadowing The Gits’ legacy really compounds the whole sad situation. I’ve seen people who found out about The Gits thourgh watching Unsolved Mysteries. So there is a legacy there, but it’s a mixed one sadly. I also “heard” someone mention The Gits on the Babes in Toyland Facebook fan page a couple of weeks back and one of the posters was a woman who lives in Seattle. She said that there’s a series of murals dedicated to various Seattle musicians from Kurt to Macklemore and one of them was dedicated to Mia Zapata. The poster then said “She is remembered and She is loved”. I was glad to hear that being said. My hope is also that “Mia’s story [would] be rediscovered” too. With Tiktok and viral videos, maybe her music could rediscovered and experience a revival. If a Fleetwood Mac song from decades ago can be rediscovered by the younger generation through Tiktok, there’s no reason other’s music (Like The Gits) can’t be rediscovered as well.
