Teens turned an obscure cult classic into a viral hit, and made me remember what it's like to be a young music fan
these days as I did when I was a teenager, but the quality of that listening has changed. I used to fall asleep with my iPod clutched in my hand, playing that week’s favorite song on repeat; now I listen more absently, at the grocery store or while working out. I still discover plenty of music that’s new to me and absolutely fantastic, but when you’re a kid, a single song can reorient your interests, or overturn your ideas about style and beauty.
This de-escalation in my relationship with music has been one of the most disappointing parts of being a rapidly-aging grownup. But this year offered me a major treat—a whole bunch of teenagers started listening to one of my favorite songs in the world, allowing me to vicariously relive their wide-eyed wonder., in 2001. It broke up soon after, and the album went out of print, not to be reissued until 2014, which is right around the time I began listening to it.
The style isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. “For some, the scrape of fingernails on a blackboard is an exquisite sensation,” readnow-infamous early review. “Dentists’ drills provide a satisfying tingle. Animals dying in agony make a heavenly choir. And Sue Tompkins, ‘idiosyncratic’ frontwoman of Life Without Buildings, makes a beautiful noise.” But over the years, the band’s popularity grew despite their early dissolution, andis now generally regarded as a cult classic.
