What grunge stage name did Robin use in P.S. I Love You?

The story behind the answer

In “P.S. I Love You,” Robin uses the grunge stage name Robin Daggers.

Daggers is a darker reinvention of Robin’s earlier Canadian teen-pop identity, Robin Sparkles. After songs such as “Let’s Go to the Mall” and “Sandcastles in the Sand” made her a novelty pop star, Robin becomes dissatisfied with the bubblegum persona and pivots toward 1990s-style grunge.

Her song “P.S. I Love You” parodies the confessional anger associated with artists such as Alanis Morissette. The track is about Robin’s obsessive feelings for a former lover, later revealed to be Paul Shaffer. The show also uses the episode to explain why her music career ended: her record company rejects the song, and her disastrous performance at the 84th Grey Cup exposes the new persona.

A common mix-up is answering Robin Sparkles, which is correct for her earlier mall-pop songs but not for this grunge phase. Jessica Glitter is another character from Robin’s fictional television past, not her grunge name.
