* A 1964 Life article entitled "Hooray For the Y?©-Y?© Girls" attempted to introduce three popular female y?©-y?© singers, Sylvie Vartan, Sheila and Fran?ßoise Hardy, to American readers. It erroneously implies that fans shouting "y?©-y?©" whenever the singers perform is where the term "y?©-y?©" comes from.[1]
* In her 1964 essay "Notes on 'Camp'", Susan Sontag cited y?©-y?© as an example of an entire genre being annexed by the camp sensibility.[2]
