Rec | ALBUM RECS FROM TEEN ME

💿

Rec'd on 💿 what are 3 albums that represent high school for you?

wolf by tyler, the creator: if you asked me to pick just one album, it would be this. i was obsessed with everything odd future throughout high school but this album in particular was so special to me. i still remember watching the countdown to the domo 23 video premiere on my little iphone 4 d.a.i.s.y. rage by kitty: technically not an album but must be mentioned. according to my itunes i listened to every song on this mixtape genuinely 800-1000 times in ninth grade alone. kitty was ahead of her time and overhated imo. the song about getting anxiety rashes? she got me. still does!! art angels by grimes: i used to regularly hit the post limit on tumblr

From a reformed tumblr teen

Oracular Spectacular - MGMT (yes, I was that kid with a quote from “Future Reflections” on my senior yearbook page) It’s Blitz - Yeah Yeah Yeahs (decades before I would obsess over the YYYs after reading Meet Me In The Bathroom) Strange Mercy - St. Vincent (saw her open for Andrew Bird and was hooked until Daddy’s Home… Annie Clark you will always be famous)

2010-2014

I was blessed to come of age at a time in which both physical media and streaming were prevalent. One of my friends/neighbors got sent away to a boarding school run by monks in alaska and gave me his crate of CD‘s for safekeeping. this led to a lot of classic hipster /mu albums like in the aeroplane over the sea, oracular spectacular, hospice, gorillaz/demon days/plastic beach (i got rise of the ogre from the library and asked my mom what cunt meant bc it was in the book), the suburbs, the reminder, and bands like TMBG, james blake, eels, sleighbells, etc. I also was one of the only people in my school who loved lana del ray, even after her SNL performance. I had a good friend who i bonded with over born to die and after her death, i further deepened my relationship with lana’s music. She also really liked WHY? and alopecia was a big grief album for me. I also listened to a lot of rap like the first odd future album, XXX, down from the 36 chambers, ex military (found takyon on youtube and it changed something in me) and most of all good kid MAAD city which i had on CD and blasted in the minivan on the drive to school daily. The most cringe aspects were my deep love of ska punk and folk punk like defiance ohio, AJJ, reel big fish, but especially streetlight manifesto, who I quoted in my senior yearbook. I don’t listen to ska anymore so that’s why I consider it cringe, it’s so far from who I am now, but if i hear a streetlight song i’ll still know all the words. Mix CD’s also had a huge impact on my music taste. The cool older hipster kids (these are all people who were unimaginably tumblr famous, especially being from a small town) who got together and created the Royal Mixtape Society. It only happened once, but we all created a mix CD and got a copy of everyone else’s in return. This lead to a lot of incredible discoveries, most of all the “Butts“ mixtape which has been the soundtrack to core memories of me and my best friends.
