==History== The name Sassy 009 comes from Lindgård's SoundCloud username.<ref name="vice">{{cite web |last1=Dunn |first1=Frankie |date=December 13, 2017 |title=10 things you need to know about sassy 009 |url=https://i-d.co/article/10-things-you-need-to-know-about-sassy-009/ |access-date=14 October 2019 |website=i-D |publisher=}}</ref> Contrary to the dominant narrative, Sassy 009 did not begin as a trio. Before she released anything, it was Lindgård's online display name on SoundCloud and her nickname at school.
