After breaking up with her Nicholas Sparks movie co-star and leaving her safe Disney funded bubble, Miley Cyrus threw herself into 'real life', becoming the twerking, appropriating icon she'd apparently always wanted to be.
Since then Woke Kween Miley has gone through several reincarnations, which while seemingly 'random', have closely paralleled the well worn trajectories of her white, trust fund endowed co-ed cohorts, ensconced in various private colleges across America. Miley's past few years have been full of the same blatant contradictions, changes in political outlook and embarrassing cultural faux pas, but unfortunately hers have all happened in the glare of the public eye.
Freshman year ('I can drink!''Vacay! OMG I'm almost as dark as you!''I slept with a black guy!''Odd Future are my everything!''Thug Life!''I'm a down ass bitch!''I'm ratchet af!''I was so basic in high school!')

Yearbook quotes;'"My last record [2009's EDM-inflected Can't Be Tamed] I feel so disconnected from-I was 16 or 17 when I made it. When you're in your 20s, you just don't really know that person anymore." [

Yearbook quotes; “I really don’t like coke. It’s so gross and so dark It’s like what are you, from the 90s?”
[Source]“One time I smoked a joint with peyote in it, and I saw a wolf howling at the moon.”
[Source]"I know what I'm doing. I know I'm shocking you. When I'm dressed in that teddy bear thing, I think that's funny. I was saying yesterday, I had this obsession about this character that's like an adult baby. Like if you see a baby do something like that it's so warped and weird, but there's something creepily hot about it. So when I'm in that teddy bear suit, I'm like a creepy, sexy baby. But I forget that it's, like, people in Kansas watching the show. That people sit their kid in front of the TV and are like, "Oh, an awards show! Let's watch."
[Source]Junior year; ('I just want you to know...some people have war in their countries', 'We're gonna get some ayahuasca and go up to Joshua Tree over Spring Break', 'My privilege pigeonholes me, because people think I can't empathise or contribute and its really hard for me sometimes. Because if people like me don't do it who else is going to?''Dreadlocks aren't a part of anyone's culture')

Yearbook quotes; “This is crazy,” she says with her signature raspy-voiced charm, “but I haven’t smoked weed in three weeks!”
[Source]“In Malibu, when she’s not making music or doing two hours of Ashtanga yoga daily, Cyrus says she likes nothing better than walking her dogs or grocery shopping, where she’s generally unbothered. “I love talking to people, and I approach them in a normal, ‘Don’t treat me different, ’cause I’m not’ way. That’s what started this evolution for me, getting out of my Dead Petz phase,” she says, referring to her 2015 album, the tour for which featured her in a unicorn outfit with a strap-on phallus.“
[Source]“The fact that country music fans are scared of me, that hurts me. All the nipple pastie shit, that’s what I did because I felt it was part of my political movement, and that got me to where I am now. I’m evolving, and I surround myself with smart people that are evolved.“
[Source]“Dude, I was shocked that people gave a fuck about the [MTV Video Music Awards in 2013, when she performed with Robin Thicke] -- the twerking, the teddy bear. It’s a totally different time, and I don’t think that would freak people out anymore."
[Source]Congratulations on graduating Miley! We're all so proud of you!
